This is only on my computer, I've tried several headphones on several devices and they all worked. All the sliders are fine in control panel, what do i do?
 
Also, when i unplug the headphones, the speakers work fine with both channels, I've had this computer for years and this problem started today
 
Might be a connection on the motherboard! You would have to strip it down to where you can see the solder connections where the headphone jack is and re-solder them!
Hope this helps!
