    The keyboard one is probably the hot keys. (HP Info Center, volume, etc.)

    Not sure what the "HP Integrated Module" is. Make sure you've retrieved the chipset drivers (if there are any) and installed them first, before other drivers, after a reinstall.

    As far as the speaker issue, I think you're looking at the holes in the case and thinking that everything behind that is a speaker. Speakers are circular in shape and only rarely rectangular, and are never more than 1.5 times as wide as they are tall. Inside that bezel you have multiple, smaller, round speakers. Probably what's happening is the sound is coming through all of them at once, in mono, and it makes it sound like it's only coming from the center because it's not stereo. Or there could be a "center" speaker as well as the usual left and right, and it's the only one putting out sound.

    Either way it sounds like your audio drivers aren't in... Those could come from the chipset drivers, or they could be a separate package. (Actually that could be what the "HP Integrated Module" is.)
