One sided sound
10:49 Thursday 6 Sep 07
And today’s problem is speakers. R speaker is quiet. Realtek drivers are up to date. All the sound properties are good, realtek sound manager is good and the auto test has a quiet r speaker. Nvidia driver (which I think is the culprit because that is all that changed) is v7.8.0.1. Plugged into the Zen all works well. I can’t see anything in the Bios menus that would affect balance/volume. Oddly, uninstalling the Realtek AC’97 Audio drivers didn’t actually do that. Headphones – which plug into the affected speaker (they are Logitech ones) – work fine.
So it’s only when the computer directly outputs to that speaker that the volume drops to almost nothing. But the speaker is okay. And the headphone link is okay. It’s very odd.
Edit:
Front jack produces the same result as the back one.

you specifically said Zen but i am unfamiliar with that music
player. My question is specifically what music player do you
use, and, since you changed the configuration by (installing,
upgrading?) your Nvidia drivers, did you first try:
a.) rolling back the drivers
b.) checking the configuration in your specific music player
When I installed some new drivers, my winamp went buggy, and I
had to search, and search withing winamp to find where I
needed to adjust which drivers it used. In the long run it was worth it.
I hope something in what I wrote helps you.
