I have a unique problem that I have never come across before.
I have no sound out of my left speaker.
I am in Windows 8.1 64 bit
Motherboard is an Asus maximus iv gene z/gen3
I was using the audio from this for the longest time until I noticed my left earbud was no longer working. so I switched to speakers. the clarity of the speakers were really good so I never noticed the speaker being out until i started to play with the balance. Now since then it has been bugging me.
I had a little logitech 2 speaker + sub woofer setup so i switched it out for the logitech 5.1 setup. it is the exactly same no left speaker sound.
I swapped out the left speaker with the right and right with the left.. and the speaker was working fine. but still no sound out of the left side which is now the right speaker.. so i put it back. after this time I thought maybe the jack on the motherboard is going bad. I then decided to by a sound card. I got the Sound Blaster recon core 3d pcie it sounds super amazing the clarity is perfect but i still have no sound out of my left speaker. I even went into my bios and disabled my HD audio onboard setup. im really stumped at what else this could be. the sound from the motherboard should not interfere with a sound card. and vise versa. I even went as far as to boot into Mint a linux distro that boots off of the CD and again no left speaker. so It is not a windows 8 issue. does anyone have ANY idea what could be going on?
