Hi. I switched the playback sound device speakers to headphones then revert back to speakers again yesterday. I noticed that left speaker was louder than right despite windows volume controls shows they're equal(speaker properties--levels--audio output). Then i reinstalled the audio drivers and this time right was louder than left. I applied these solutions and none of them worked(sometimes left is louder than right or vice versa):



1/Completely uninstall and reinstall audio drivers and realtek audio tools. I tried different drivers.



2/Disabling all playback devices except speakers



3/Disabling all sound enhancements(windows speaker properties)



4/Trying all audio default formats(speaker properties---->advanced)



5/Trying both relatek audio manager advanced settings there's 2 settings on device advanced settings tab. "mute the rear audio device when a front headphone plugged in" and "make front and rear audio devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously .



6/ I tried both of realtek audio manager connector settings (AC97 and HD front panel) If i choose AC97 right speaker is louder than left. If i choose HD Audio Front panel there's no volume on right speaker.





What should i do to resolve this? Is there any values that i tweak/delete in registry
 
The cable might be bad. If you use headphones, does the issue persist?
 
Does it behave in the same way when using the rear jacks and the front ones? (If you have any front ones that is)
 
What sort of speakers are we dealing with here? Also is there an amp involved in the loop. More information may help eliminate a lot of things I can think of.
