    Hi, First off I checked the balance and if all were normal I would be hearing sound coming out of both speakers. I have hooked up to my computer 2 dell computer speakers and the right one (which is plugged in and has the volume adjuster located on it) doesn't produce any sounds while the speaker on the left (that's hooked up to the one on the right) produces sound. I don't know much about sound cards and drivers but this are my specs:

    Realtek AC'97 Audio
    Unimodem Half-Duplex Audio Device
    Legacy Audio Drivers

    I know it's not the right speaker that's broken because A) it supplies power to the left one and more importantly B) I hooked up 3 different speakers and the problem is the same each time. My signature might aid to more information concerning the MOBO and what not.

    Thank you for ANY HELP =)

    Is this onboard sound or via pci sound card?

    If pci then try using a different pci slot, this has worked for many.

    As you've checked the balances i'm not sure what else it could be.

    You could try playing music through the speakers while moving the speaker jack in the pc port, e.g. slightly pulling it out, while listening to the non working speaker.

    Maybe reinstall of driver?

    If all fails you could purchase a pci sound card as they are very cheap to buy nowadays.
