I think I saw another post from you. I couldn't answer because I don't know what is your pavillian laptop 15z . Please use the following way to find out model/product of your machine

Please do NOT post its Serial number (s/n).

Looks like it is a CTO machine. Please do a clean install Audio software/driver, this should help.
(a) Download the following driver and save on your computer,
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp100001-100500/sp100144.exe
(b) Go to Device Manager, Sound to uninstall sound driver (Realtek) and reboot,
(c) Right click downloaded file and select Run as administrator,
(d) Reboot again.
Regards.
