I am using a 5.1 surround sound system with my home computer and recently i have noticed that my right speaker is much quieter than my left speaker but I know the volumes are balanced perfectly in my realtek audio settings, the centre speaker and subwoofer are also fine.In order to balance the volume of my left and right speakers i have to turn duwn the volume alot for my left speaker. However I have plugged in headphones to both the front and back audio jacks of my computer and the volume is balanced perfectly on both sides,i even ran a speaker config test to make sure,does this mean the right speaker has broken or something is wrong with my computer?? My audio drivers are fully updated btw.I know I may sound stupid but I have a very limited knowledge of computers and I’m desperate for help because I have been having a lot of audio issues with this computer lately and its driving me insane lol! Help would be extremely appreciated!!

For the faulty ones it seems like the amplifier is in the sub-woofer so my guess is that’s where the trouble is most likely to be, although there is still a vague chance that the cable from that to the misbehaving speaker is at fault.
How new are they? I’m wondering if they are still under warranty, in which case returning them would be the best option.
At least you know the computer is OK.
EDIT:
I made another assumption, that you replaced the “complete speaker system”. If you just plugged a replacement speaker unit into the sub-woofer then the one that was originally plugged in there (or its cable) is at fault.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks
