I have a HP Windows 8 laptop and I have had it for year now. It worked great but now for some reason the left speaker on the laptop just stopped working all of a sudden. I tested both speakers and it seems no sound comes out of the left speaker. The speakers for my laptop are built in. The computer says the speakers are a IDT High Definition Audio CODEC. I was thinking about taking it to a repair shop but then I found the properties for the speakers. I can update the driver and or uninstall the driver. What should I do and what do you think might have caused this to happen?
Have you checked the speaker volume balance? Right click on speaker>>Playback devices>>double click on Speakers and double headphones>>levels>>click Balance on area labelled "Speaker", it should be same on both channels, if not, drag both channels volume sliders to 100 or 0 then change main volume back to whatever you like.

I would get my own speakers instead of the built in ones but I would like to have the built in speakers so I can use it on the go instead of using a different pair.
It could be that the connector for that speaker came loose. The only way to check that though is to disassemble the laptop, and I've never had an HP laptop that was easy to disassemble.
