soundcard? problem...

by Sheep • 27 Jul 2007, 17:21 • Journals
quite recently my left earphone has been going dead silent, if i push it to my ear i can hear the sound, music for example, but at the same time the right earphone is working perfectly...

now its not the headset because ive put them into both my tv and stereo hi-fi and the left and right earphones work as they should... now to fix it usually i just turn off my computer and cut off the power supply, as a simple reboot doesnt work... ive even tried unplugging the things out of the sockets at the back of the pc to no success...

the earphone usually cuts out/goes quiet when i for example am watching videos on the internet (browser videos - myvideo, youtube, pornotube etc.) or even when im on ventrilo and someone is talking - happened with both olbaa and duke last night... when they dont talk it was fine, but then after 5~ minutes of talking the left earphone cuts out again...

if anyone knows what the hell is going on, it would be appreciated, ta

yeh he probably snapped it on purpose. hoping it would enhance sounds! so that he could hear footsteps from the entire map!
