After shipping, I only get one channel of sound (no more stereo)

GA-K8NF-9 mobo with integrated sound (Realtek ALC850 Audio AC'97 Codec).

I moved my computer cross country. It looked like it was in fine shape and I shipped it in the original packing. Everything else seems to work fine (though some components seem a little noisier -- but I think that is just my imagination).

Anyway, I get only one channel (right side). I've tried two sets of speakers and headphones.

There are jacks on the front AND back of my antec sonata. Both exhibit the same problem.

I'd prefer not to have to try to prove to the postal service the mobo is broken and get a refund and reattach everything. Anyone have any suggestions for how to fix this?

 
I know there are jumpers on my MB for the onboard sound, just an idea but maybe make sure none of them came loose. There are 2 for sure on mine (though it's an NForce2) that bypass the rear ports.

Varun is right, check the jumpers on the front audio connection

 
Thanks guys! :beer:

That was it.

I think I must have undid some jumpers when I was removing and re-installing the video card (which I shipped separately).
