I currently have Dell A525 Speakers and Subwoofer hooked up to my computer. They are about a year old, though we bought them brand new. For some reason, the right speaker is MUCH louder than the left. I have tried switching positions, and the only result being the one now on the left is louder (same speaker). I have to change the balance almost completely to one side in order to get them even remotely even. Can anyone please help me out here? (in case it has anything to do with the problem, I also constantly hear a staticy sound which changes pitch if my computer is doing more work.)
It sound like you have a break in the main wire from the computer sound card to your speaker amp OR the plug is not plug in completely plugged in all the way. Try some other speakers or ear buds / head phones to isolate sound card problem or speaker problem.
You may have to change the settings in equilizer

I did this. "I have to change the balance almost completely to one side in order to get them even remotely even." Sorry if i wasn't clear what that meant.
I have checked both of the equalizers/balance. In fact, this computer recently came back from the shop completely rebooted (hard drive fried). This isn't the cause though, as the problem occurred long before then. I have changed ALL of the balances to favor the left to an incredible degree, and the right is still louder.
mcneb, I did as you requested, and different speakers worked fine. The dell speakers did not work on the other computer we had though either.
The static sound is probably just feedback from the computer itself and should not be related in the problem. First thing to check in the case that the speakers seem ok would be the balance of the speakers in the windows sound configuration. There are a place or 2 that you can tweak out the balance, either for the sound card itself within the volume control of windows (the speaker in the taskbar). If that's ok, then in the sound config itself that you have in the windows contol pannel, you have a volume button in the speaker section that lets you adjust left and right independtly. Someone or just some application might have moved the sliders without you knowing it and could be causing this. So check that out first and let me know if it solves the problem or not. If not we'll try to go through the most common speaker problems that can cause this.
I had this same issue and it was a super easy fix! Thanks for the advice. How I fixed it? Simple, At least with my issue it was simply the green jack for the speakers that plugs directly into my computer needed to be unplugged and replugged in. Just wasn't in the headphone port well enough. XD I laughed when I realized how easy it was...At least in my case. Thanks
