Sound Test: Check Your Speakers Left and Right
A sound test plays a short tone on the side you press, so you can hear the left and the right before a call

Left and right channels
Press Left, Right, or Both. The test tone plays only on that side for about a second, and the side is marked. Change sound swaps the tone for one of three songs. A left right speaker test uses the same idea: one side, then the other, then both together.
Left and right
Left is the side on your left when you face the speakers. Right is the other side. A stereo sound test sends the sound to one of those sides at a time.
Headphones
Put headphones on, press Left, then Right. Each ear should get the sound alone. Speakers in the room need the same check, with you facing them.
Songs, or a tone
The test tone is the cleanest check: a dead side stays silent and you notice at once. For fun, switch to one of three songs, each played on one side at a time, so a quiet side cannot hide. With your own music, pick a track you know is stereo and listen once on each side.
When a side stays quiet
Two checks find almost every silent speaker
When only one side plays
Check the balance in the system sound settings, and check that the audio is not forced to one channel. A loose cable or a Bluetooth device set to one ear does the same thing. Stereo vs mono is the first thing to look at.
When the computer stays quiet
Raise the volume, pick the output device the computer is actually using, and try headphones. A muted output or the wrong speaker leaves the sound silent.
