Ok so i have this problem(it happened this morning) with headphones. Whenever i plug my steelseries siberia v2 or my second headset tritton 720+ i get sound only from left side but when i plug my iphone earphones or my beats everything is ok. Everything was fine till now. I reinstalled/installed drivers, switched from mono to stereo, tried front and back panel connectors, reinstaled windows i even installed ubuntu and still same ****. So wtf is wrong !? btw soundcard is on mobo gigabyte z77-d3h. Any ideas ?
 
sounds like a damaged socket on the motherboard.

There used to be a way to configure the onboard sound to send the sound to the rear speakers. So you could try that? Plug the headphones into the black port and see what happens?
 
same stuff from black port
anywys i pluged my steelseries and trittons to my iphone and ipad and looks like only left side is working which means my 2 pair of headset broke at same day ?!
thats so weird tho
 
That is the best test though, to try headsets, headphones, speakers, whatever, with other devices. If the problem is present connected to other devices, then it is they that must have the problem.

That's some rotten luck though, for the same fault to develop for two different headsets at the same time with the same issue. Very bizarre!

What about the Tritton's though? Can they be tried with something else? If they only have optical input, that does limit what you can try them with.
 
sorry for tripple posting but could it be my mobo burning them headsets ??

Doubt it. You could have full volume and it wouldn't damage them. You'd destroy your hearing before the headset gives out. Besides, the Tritton's use digital connection, so no electrical signal is passed to fry them, even if such a thing were possible. Optical uses light pulses.
 
tritton can use optical and analog tho
anyways looks like my mystery is solved... 2 broken headset's :(
well thx for help guys ! ill be using iphone earphones till i get something new =D
