No sound on right speaker, HELP

Hi,
I have a problem with the audio on my system,

I have 2x desktop Altec Lansing vs2420 speakers but i can only hear sound from my left speaker, the right speaker has no sound at all,

So far I have tried,
installing the latest Realtek AC'97 Drivers 4.04
Re-connecting the speakers to the PC
Checking the audio preferences and options from the Control Panel
Testing the speakers on a different PC (they work fine) Sound on both L & R
......

but nothing seems to do it,
My system is:
Windows XP sp2
AMD Athlon 64 3000+
1.87 Ghz
2GB Ram
512MB GeForce 6200 TurboCache
Winfast Motherboard / nForce4 chipset

According to Wikipedia the nForce 4 chipset has the following Flaws:
The nForce4 chipset has also been blamed for issues with PCI cards, relating to Nvidia's implementation of the PCI bus. RME Audio, a maker of professional audio equipment, has stated that the latency of the PCI bus is unreliable and that the chipset's PCI Express interface can hog system data transfer resources when intense video card usage is occurring. This has the effect of causing audible pops and clicks with PCI sound cards. Gamers have noticed this effect, especially with Creative's Sound Blaster X-Fi and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 sound cards. Compatibility issues between these sound cards and nForce4 motherboards have been ongoing, even following driver updates. Latency issues are more readily apparent with sound cards than other addon cards because of the direct user feedback the audio problems bring forward.

Could it be the chipset flaws that doesn't allow me to hear audio from one of the speakers?
If so how can i hear audio from 1 speaker? if there was a problem with the chipset i wouldn't be able to hear any audio whatsoever right?

Does anyone have any opinion on the issue?
Has this happened to anyone? if so how did you solve it?

p.s. the audio balance on the Master Volume is on the middle, not on the left lol :)
