Go to solution Solved by t0wer,

it sounds like it's not plugged in all the way.

if sennheiser is still using their huge barrel adapters, I'd look at a short cable adapter like this.

(just the first I saw, I'm sure there are cheaper out there)

I just bought a Sound Blaster at Fry's becuase it was on sale and my FiiO E10 died. I figured if the FiiO is better I will return the sound card and get another one. I just installed it and downloaded the drivers, but with my Sennheiser HD 558s, I only get audio in the left channel. The Creative control panel, Windows sound control panel, and Foobar are all playing in the left channel only. Should I re-install the drivers, get a new one, or do something else?

Will work for electronic components and parts

Thanks, I feel really stupid now  :P, the thumb screw wasn't all the way in so I couldn't plug it in properly.
