I should have asked where the switches are located, in the doors or in the center console. If they are in the center console, and there is no sound at all when trying to run the driver's window, suspect broken or frayed wires between the driver's door hinges.

If the switches are in the doors, and the passenger window works from the driver's switch, the wiring is okay. That just leaves a defective switch or motor. If the passenger window works from the passenger switch but not the driver's switch, check the wires between the driver's door hinges.
