Unbalanced volume on speakers

[ultron]

Hi. I switched the playback sound device speakers to headphones then revert back to speakers again yesterday. I noticed that left speaker was louder than right despite windows volume controls shows they're equal(speaker properties--levels--audio output). Then i reinstalled the audio drivers and this time right was louder than left. I applied these solutions and none of them worked(sometimes left is louder than right or vice versa):



1/Completely uninstall and reinstall audio drivers and realtek audio tools. I tried different drivers.



2/Disabling all playback devices except speakers



3/Disabling all sound enhancements(windows speaker properties)



4/Trying all audio default formats(speaker properties---->advanced)



5/Trying both relatek audio manager advanced settings there's 2 settings on device advanced settings tab. "mute the rear audio device when a front headphone plugged in" and "make front and rear audio devices playback two different audio streams simultaneously .



6/ I tried both of realtek audio manager connector settings (AC97 and HD front panel) If i choose AC97 right speaker is louder than left. If i choose HD Audio Front panel there's no volume on right speaker.





What should i do to resolve this? Is there any values that i tweak/delete in registry

Put up with it, adjust the sliders accordingly . Life is too short to worry about little things

This. Having "unbalanced" audio chips / amps, or speakers, isn't at all unusual. It can even just be your personal perception, in fact.

I have something loose in the back of my sub/amp that makes sound shift like this. I just wiggle the sound cable at the connection until it's back to normal.

Try unplugging speaker wires and re-attaching them.

As I recall from my audio days, the only sound that can be equally balanced between two transducers would be monophonic. True stereo would almost never be balanced nor should it be.
