Windows 10: Headphones only using left ear on pc

My headphones are only working on one ear on my pc. I've tried it on a Switch and a phone, they work perfectly

:)

 

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??

 

Best in-ear headphones?

Hi,

I am looking for best in-ear headphones in $50 price range. Since I like music while doing workouts,
Zagg Smartbuds seems to be the best choice. Maybe you can suggest something else or say your opinions about Smartbuds?

 

My left headphone randomly lowers it's volume.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.

• What is the make and model of the headphone?
  

This could be due to the change in Balance levels of the playback device. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Right click the sound icon on the taskbar and choose
  Sounds.
  
• Select your headphone, and click on Properties.
  
• Click on Balance under Levels
  tab, adjust Left and Right to the same levels.
  
• Save the changes and check if the issue persists.

Hope it helps.
