    If that doesn't work, it will be hardware.

    In my Toshiba Satellite here is what I would have to do. Hopefully it will be the same or close for yours. Right click on the speaker icon by the clock. Left click Playback Devices. A window should open with the Playback tab showing. Select the speakers and click properties at the bottom. Click the Levels tab. Click the Balance box there. Adjust if necessary and click OK. Click OK to close out the other windows. Hope this helps. Good Luck.

    Additional Comment: I have Vista 64 bit in the Toshiba.

    it truly is the most appropriate answer > Open your sound controls in "administration panel". verify for the steadiness controls and note if both audio gadget are became up and both so. My wager is one speaker is determined below the different. From memory I keep in mind a verify container that announces some thing like "slide each and each and every administration a similar".
