I have the exact same issue with the left side, I'm beginning to worry its a defective issue across all of your products. I would really love for this to be resolved as i absolutely love my HP Envy 17" i just want my Bang & Olufsen speakers to work properly.

My left speaker is already fine. Thanks for your reply though.

I solved it already. I don't know if it'll work on you but it wouldn't hurt to try, is it? 

Right click the speaker icon then choose "open volume mixer"

Click the "device/headphone"

Go to "levels"

Then click "balance", it'll show you the separate volume controller of your left and right speaker.

In my case, I just adjusted the volume of my left speaker then voila! Left speaker is working fine.
