    Any headphone I plug into my desktop only plays sound in the right ear.


    I know 100% this is a problem with my desktop, because
    1 I tried 4 different headsets and the same problem, I even ordered a new headset and same problem.
    2 All the headsets I tried work on my other devices like my laptop, phone, etc

    It's not a software problem I tried balancing the sound and it's fine
    Device is set to default
    I tried blowing into the headphone jack, twisting the headphone 3.5mm while inside the jack, and other things.

    If I lower the volume on my headphones to like 10-5% I can hear sound in both my ears and when I put my sound on my headphones to around 80-100% I can hear some short weird sounds in my left ear every once in a while even when not playing audio

    This all happened a few months ago. My sister came to my door and said she thinks there's someone in the house, I got up and tripped on my old headphone's wire, forcing the 3.5mm out of the jack and bending it.

    IF my jack is permanently broken and I have to do something to it IRL, what should I do? Do I hire a professional, buy a new PC case, or try and fix it myself? I have a headphone jack and a mic jack. I'm very upset please answer.

    :)

    Speakers playing when headphones are plugged in

    I have an HP laptop with windows 10. When my headphones are plugged in, the speakers are still playing. When I go to sounds, the only device listed is the speakers. How can I silence the speakers when the headphones are plugged in.

    Headphones only playing in the left ear, driving me mad

    I have Windows 10, and my headphones will only play into the left ear, and my right ear is completely muted. I know it's a problem with the computer since I've switched headphones and still had the problem and my headphones worked fine with another device.

    I've already looked at multiple threads and haven't found anything that works yet.

    I've already check the balance under my speakers' properties, and they were both equal.

    I've updated the drivers, and when that didn't work, I uninstalled them and restarted my computer, which reinstalled them for my automatically with the latest versions.

    I've even tried blowing into the socket like some people said.

    I couldn't try one suggestion because I only have one audio input about how the right ear playing if you plugged a different pair of headphones into another port, and it could be fixed by half plugging headphones into one port while fully plugging other
    ones into the other.

    I seriously have no idea what's going on. What else could be going wrong here??
