Hi guys,

On board audio from Asus P5W DH Deluxe. Speaker Klipsch 2.1.
It used to be okay with XP. Now after i upgraded to Vista, the sound only comes from left speaker and sub. All the hardware (speaker connections etc werent changed)
i updated the driver for asus audio for vista. but it still doesnt work.
is there anything that i'm not seeing? what's the problem? solution?
Thanks in advance

A. You're not seeing the cable connector pulled loose.
B. The cable connector is pulled loose.
C. Plug the cable connector back in.

 
did that already before i even posted. i even connected the speaker to my laptop to make sure that it's not the speakers thats causing the problem.
 
Make sure the mini jack is pushed in all the way.

Get rid of the non working speaker and move the working one in the middle of your desk? 😉
 
oh ya.. sure.. in the mean time, is there anything that i can do to make this speaker work?

Meaning, those sweet speakers deserve a dedicated sound card.

 
Just to be 100% sure it's the onboard sound, try plugging the speakers into a CD player or MP3 player or something and make sure both speaker work.
 
Nine times out of ten this problem (when it occurs with onboard sound) is due to the mini plug not being inserted all the way into the jack. Sometimes the backplate is a few mm away from the jack causing the plug not to go in all the way.

I would think that too, except it sounds like he didn't change that at all. Certainly could have gotten bumped though.
 
it's starting to frustrate me 🙁 i tried unplugging and plugging it back in. still no luck.. and i also tried it on my laptop, and it worked, so the speakers are good. i guess untill i find the solution, i'll do what ms dawn suggested.. put the speaker in the middle 🙂
