View Single Post - sound problems- only plays from one side with good speakers and sound card?

Well I have a set of Logitech Z-2300 speakers hooked up to the onboard AC97 audio of the mobo in my sig, and just within the last week, the left speaker makes no sound at all.

So I thought the speakers were messed up, but I hooked the system up to another computer and had nice stereo sound.

So then I thought my onboard audio was screwed, so I threw an old Soundblaster card in there and hooked up the speakers again....left side is dead.

So I thought, ok the sound card is screwed....tried the same sound card in another computer, with the same speakers....nice stereo sound...

Both times the Soundblaster was installed using the default XP Pro drivers.

Any thoughts? I am completely stumped by this one.
