Suddenly my PC output mono only !

**Shady** · 01-28-2007, 09:13 AM

Suddenly my speakers and headphones don't wanna work stereo.
I checked the balance everywhere I can check and it's in the middle.
What could that be ?

Have you checked your connection or tried other speakers?

**Shady** · 01-28-2007, 06:28 PM

Yea, I said with both the speakers and headphones, I connect the headphones directly to the Mobo.

I've seen this happen several times... try messing with where they jack into your PC. Wiggle it around a bit... only one part of the plug is coming into contact with the jack.

I tried everything, won't work.
I don't know what's wrong!!! is it the Mobo ?
Do I have to buy a sound card ?

Try uninstalling your drivers then reinstalling them.

I tried 3 different speakers. same problem !

**Shady** · 01-29-2007, 10:55 AM

I switched to windows Vista and the same problem still exists.
I'm feeling it's a hardware problem now !

Do you only have the phone jack on the back of the PC or do you have one on the front too? do either of them work?

Is the phone jack mounted on the M/B, or connected to M/B via a cable? or is it on a sound card?
Have you checked these connections?
