headphone problems

[Meatball the man]

when i plug my headphones in my computer and when i listened to music the left ear was normal but the left was very quiet then i tried pluging into my laptop and it worked fine. so i went back to my pc and i tried not pluging it in all the way and that worked but i dont want to keep doing that so i was like "maybe its just the aux jack" so i tried the one on theeother side of the pc and it does the same thing. i dont know if this has anything to do with this but my sister was trying to get obs working around when it  starte happening she might of change a setting but she says she diddent 

 

also it happens with diffrent headphones too.

 

and i tried mono

Try going onto your motherboard,if these headphone ports are on the front panel and unplug the front panel where it connects to the mobo and then plug them back in.

Difficult to say, it's one of those "unless it's happened to you" things the solution could be anything.

 

I would say start by uninstalling OBS completely since that's the likely culprit, or if you don't want to uninstall it just spend a lot of time messing with settings.

 

One random thought I just had..... there is a way to send your audio output through the network with some kind of banana program or something, I didn't pay attention when someone was talking about it but it sounded pretty cool, might make a post asking about virtual audio cables or search for it.  My point being that if you can send the audio to the laptop over the network and it still does it you know it's software related and not hardware.
