North Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) So I bought a new monitor recently. Connected my desktop speakers to the monitor via 3.5mm standard audio jack. Before this, I was using my laptop, and my laptop speakers are pretty good so didnt use desktop speakers for a year or so. Anyway I find that the speaker on the right is quite a bit louder than the speaker on the left. The subwoofer is pumping bass fine enough though. Any easy software fix? As such not a big issue, I can manage even if right side has more volume than left. Mainly use for online classes, music and youtube videos. Use headphones when gaming. Thank you Any help/tips will be much appreciated. Speakers- Creative 2.1 Wired Desktop Speakers Edited July 28, 2020 by Chirag2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 First I'd check if its just the monitor socket that's faulty. Connect to the laptop and see if its the same. It could also be the inline volume wheel on the wire that a lot of creative speakers have. Try moving that and see if the distribution changes. If not then it's the speakers themselves. Right click on the volume icon on the laptop, select Open Volume mixer, select the output device, Go to the levels tab, hit balance under main volume and move the slider to compensate for the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a real legend man. This is the second time in one week you've troubleshooted one of my problems with the new setup hehe Anyway the issue wasn't with the monitor. I plugged in my headphones into the monitor, distribution equal. There is a volume dial on one of the speakers itself, rotating that only adjusted the volume, no change in distribution. Went into the settings like you said, it was all balanced. 50-50. Tweaked it a bit for a couple of minutes, playing a song to check. Something clicked and they're equal now! And its numerically balanced too. Reverted it to 50-50, works perfect. Thank you @Walker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
