Headphone stereo sound comes from both sides

[gimblygt]

My headphone was working 2 weeks ago, then the jack was broken. I repaired it, now everytime there's a stereo sound it comes from both sides.

When I go to Sound>Playback>Speakers>Properties>Levels then balance it the Realtek HD Audio Output, the sound becomes weird and quiet. If I balance it to Right 100 and Left 0 it will work like a mono speaker but has the previous sound quality. I need the stereo system so I can play games better. Thank you, please take a time to answer if you know how to fix this.

sounds like your headphone jack was damaged and is no longer working properly, a sound card would be an easy fix and it'll give you better sound potentially. check out soundblaster audigy fx

or a usb headphone/mic jack you can probably find one for under 10 bucks
