Right speaker louder than left speaker - why?

Okay, this may be a super n00b problem, but I've noticed that my right speaker is louder than my left. I'm relatively certain it's my computer and not my speaker,s because the problem persists with both my wireless headphones and normal ipod earbuds as well. The right is *always* louder than the left.

I thought maybe I configured it incorrectly that way, so I went into realtek HD audio manager, but they seem to be perfectly balanced?

Now, here's the funny thing, if I slide that main volume slider to the right 100%, nothing much really happens. But if i slide it all the way to the *left*, basically, *all* my volume goes away.

Any ideas? Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place? But it is annoying the shit out of me that my left speaker is barely audible, but my right is fine.

Would getting a sound card fix this?

By the way, I'm using the integrated sound on my P67 UD4.

do you plug all your devices into the audio jack? if so, it's almost a certainty that your audio jack is fked. a card with it's own jack would fix this

I don't think I 100% understand what you're asking? Yes, I plug the speaker's cord into the green audio jack?

Right click on the Realtek HD thingy in the notification area of the taskbar and select "Audio Devices". From there on follow these steps and see if it is balanced:

So someone at anandtech said they had this problem with their P67 UD4 as well. It would happen whenever they plugged another device into the audio jack while the computer was on. (wtf?)

So he suggested I turn the computer off, remove the audio in plug, and then add it back in.

And...what do you know? It worked?

Uh, thanks realtek lol. Anyway, problem solved!

update: problem unsolved.

After a few minutes, now it's gone back to making the left speaker super quiet again.... >< WAAAAT?

Does this sound like a problem with the sound card? If so, I'm 9assuming getting a discrete sound card may solve my problem?

feiling - tried your solution. It seems like it's perfectly balanced left and right?

If it's a problem with the hardware or the drivers--and not Windows--getting a discrete sound card would solve the problem.

Xonar DG is probably the best cheapie ($23 on newegg with $3 shipping and before $10 rebate), so long as you don't need 7 channels or 192 kHz (lol) playback and have a spare PCI slot:

if anyone else has an issue similar to this try and click on the folder next to the analog (sign- top right hand corner, look at the op's picture ull seee what i mean) and disable autopop up.

Dont know why this fixes it but it fixed my issues as well as for some other peoples.
