Please run an Audio Test from F2 Diagnostic and let me know if the left speaker works during the Test
- Hold the power button for at least five seconds to turn off the computer.
- Turn on the computer and immediately press Esc repeatedly, about once every second.
- When the menu appears, press the F2 key.
- On the main menu, click Component Tests and Audio
Keep me posted 😊

You can download the UEFI or Windows Diagnostic from this Link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-15-bs000-laptop-pc/15551412 under the Diagnostic Tab and then run the Audio Test

Let's try the steps recommended below.
Turn Off Audio Enhancements in Windows 10
In the taskbar search, type ‘Sound’ and select Sound Control Panel item from the list of results.
The Sound properties box will open. Under the Playback tab, right-click the Default Device – Speakers/Headphones and select Properties.
In the Speakers Properties box which opens, switch to the Enhancements tab, select the Disable all enhancements check box.
Now try to play your audio device. Does it work?
Also, try the steps recommended below.
Go to Windows Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers section.
In the list of audio device drivers, look for Realtek High definition Audio. This is the device driver for BeatsAudio (a little bit sneaky, wouldn’t you say?).
Right-click and select Disable. The downward arrow displays on this driver, indicating it is disabled. (NOTE: At this point, you won’t be able to play any music files.)
Right-click and select Update Driver Software.
Select Browse my computer for driver software.
Select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
You should see a window that says Select the device driver you want to install for this hardware. NOTE: If you see a window that says something like This is the best driver for this device, exit the window and repeat steps 4, 5, and 6.
In the Model box, highlight Realtek Audio Device (this is the substitute audio device driver) and click Next.
At the Update Driver Warning window, click Yes. You should see a confirmation window with High Definition Audio Device displayed. Click Close.
In the list of audio device drivers in the Sound, video and game controllers section, you’ll notice that the High Definition Audio Device now displays instead of Realtek High definition Audio.
At the prompt to reboot, click Yes.
If the issue still persists try the steps recommended below.
Is the loudness equalization off? If not, please:
Right, click the speaker icon
select 'Playback Devices'.
Highlight the default device
Click Properties
Click Enhancements tab
Next to 'Loudness Equalization' take out the check mark in the box.
Click Apply
Click OK
Lastly, uninstall the audio driver from the device manager and update the driver and BIOS using the HP support assistant.
You can update drivers on the PC using HP support assistant.
Refer this article to know more information about using HP support assistant.
Let me know if this helps!
Have a great day!

Let's try to perform a system reset on the PC.
You may follow the steps suggested in this support document for - HP PCs - Resetting Your Computer (Windows 10)
For some reason, if this does not help then I would suggest you could try to use HP Cloud Recovery Tool which allows you to download recovery software to a USB drive.
If this option does not work then you can follow this link: HP PCs - Obtaining PC Recovery USB Drives or Discs Or else you may contact our HP support team to help you order a set of recovery media for your PC.
HP support team can be reached on this link.
Let me know if you need any further assistance. I'll be more than happy to help you.
