| 414527 | 2005-12-21 09:18:00 | Tested with speakers and headphones. It looks like the settings are all set to center sound, and not left or right, but sound still only comes out the right hand side. Anyone know what the problem is? (No, my left ear has not gone deaf) |

| 414528 | 2005-12-21 09:36:00 | Hello there. Launch up the "Volume Control" by double-clicking the speaker icon on the bottom right of the screen. Check and see if any of the bars are set to the right. Cheers :) |

It looks like the settings are all set to center sound, and not left or right, but sound still only comes out the right hand side. Anyone know what the problem is? (No, my left ear has not gone deaf)I'm assuming you've tested with system noises as well as CD's or whatever.... This is about the stage where i would start looking at hardware issues, starting with connectors, left is the tip of the plug, are you 100% sure it is connecting with the socket? Are you using an extension cord? is it dodgy? If you put a meter between tip and sleeve, do you get a reading? If you have no meter, how about just touching it (assuming you have powered speakers) you should hear a slight buzz which will move as you move your finger to the middle contact. Do you have something else like a walkman to run your speakers and headphones from... if that is all good, your soundcard has serious issues. |

| 414530 | 2005-12-21 18:06:00 | All bars in 'Volum Control' are centered. I have a thermaltake tsunami case with a MSI Neo4 Platinum. The case has audio plugs at the back (I plugged the speakers into the green one). On finding that only worked out the right side, I tried plugging it into the green plug at the top of the case, which made no difference. I then plugged headphones wich worked perfectly fine on my other pc into the top of the case, and still no luck. Not using extension cord. |

| 414531 | 2005-12-21 19:47:00 | I'm assuming you've tested with system noises as well as CD's or whatever.....No, I havn't done this. Can you tell me how? I take it when you say test it with a CD you mean put a CD in the drive, and plug the headphones in the cd audio point? I have an LG DVD-ROM, and it doesn't seem to have an audio point. Sorry if I misunderstood you. I will test the speakers on my other pc when I get home tonight. And check the buzz, although I am not sure this happens (will have to check). Forgot to mention, using onboard sound. |

| 414532 | 2005-12-21 23:55:00 | that is really strange. It is probably a software problem since it is happening on both front & rear jacks. Have you got a linux live CD you can chuck in to see if the sound works properly in that? | Greven (91) | ||
| 414533 | 2005-12-22 00:17:00 | Good idea Greven. Will try that. Maybe some of my drivers in windows are mucked up. | mejobloggs (264) | ||

I have an LG DVD-ROM, and it doesn't seem to have an audio point. Sorry if I misunderstood you.no, i don't mean the headphone outlet on the CD drive, as that works somewhat more directly, i meant to question if it happens from all sources, such as the CD player, music on your HD etc. I will test the speakers on my other pc when I get home tonight. And check the buzz, although I am not sure this happens (will have to check). Forgot to mention, using onboard soundOnly expect a buzz if you are using powered speakers, or running through an amplifier. If there's none, then your not. |

| 414535 | 2005-12-27 20:31:00 | Took the pc back to Playtech. Apparantly it was a motherboard fault. They replaced the motherboard that day and I took it home all happy. The people at Playtech where friendly, and I had no problems at all. The reason they didn't find the problem before I got the pc is because I wanted it the day I ordered it, and told them to skip the installation part, and just assemble it so I could pick it up. So my fault, not theirs. |
