Motherboard might be defective: audio through one speaker?
Hi all, I have a slight problem with my audio and I decided to come here before racing to get an RMA from Newegg. Anyways, the rear audio jack on my new build only feeds sound through the right speaker and my subwoofer, but the left speaker is completely silent. I've already tried a set of headphones and another, older speaker system of mine, all the same results: sound through the right speaker and silence on the left speaker. This actually started happening when I used Ubuntu while waiting for my Windows 7 to arrive. I thought Ubuntu was the problem and used the front panel's headphone jack until I got Windows, but even then, I noticed it was still not working correctly. While my rear audio jack doesn't work, plugging any speaker system into my front panel's headphone jack results in sound going to both speakers like nothing was wrong and working perfectly.
So, after this long explanation, I want to know what you all think. Do you believe my motherboard is defective?
