Using the " pulseaudio -k " command though makes both speakers work again (a very quiet pop can be heard after running the command).
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce this issue manually, as it just seems to happen rarely and randomly. But I feel like it should be reported somewhere so it gets looked at, or that there is some awareness of it. I also reported the issue here. Here is my System Reports info:
