Assuming all the hardware is good, like cables properly connected, then the following may be a start to look at the issue.
To check whether alsa can actually play through the speakers, one can run the command:Or:If alsa can play through the speakers, a white noise should be heard through one and then the other speaker. To stop the test before it runs it's full course in case it's not needed, use cnrl+c.
If sound can be heard at the level of alsa in the sound stack, then the problem of one speaker not having sound may be higher up in sound server or the media server like pulseaudio or pipewire. That would involve checking the configs for those apps, especially for anything that is muted. If muted, unmuting will resolve the issue.
