Front right speaker in 5.1 headset not working

[iFergal]

Pretty much the title. Using Tritton Ax Pro+ - has TRUE 5.1 audio, so might be an issue with one of the drivers in the ear.

So, no sound. Tried on earphones, worked in both ears, but significantly quieter on right side.

Planning on getting a relatively cheap sound card, need to fix interference issues anyway, dunno if that will help.

I had a similar issue, and bypassing the onboard sound with a cheap card solved the prob. Dont forget to check the phones elsewhere first. Good luck.

Thanks for your reply. Will probably be getting the sound card anyway (cheap so meh) - Tried it on my other computer and exactly the same problem, bearing in mind that it is really old/slow. Not sure if this means it might be an actual problem with the driver in the ear or not...

Just make sure the soundcard has 5.1 analog outputs or you won't get true 5.1.

Okay, late reply here, finally got my soundcard (late delivery and such).

Didn't solve this problem at all. (Got a Xonar DGX) But it has really reduced the interference I was getting when I had 5.1 selected. (Been using stereo for a while, which is annoying with only one side working, lol.)

Not sure if there is a fix for this, might just be a problem with the headset, feel like getting a proper set of headphones to replace these anyway, not sure.

Thanks anyway!
