Windows 10: I can only hear out of the right headphone.

Alright so on my HP Windows 10 laptop, I can only hear out of one ear and yes this happens for every single wired headphone I have so I know it's not the headphones. I also know it's the computer since they work fine on my Phone. All I know is that I think it might have something to do with the RealtekR Audio.

Headphones are very Quiet in one hear and fine in the other

Hi,

• Click Playback devices.

• Click the Levels tab.
• Then check the Balance of left and right.
