Sound issues suddenly

[lovepenny]

Hi, when i start my pc now my right earphone is louder than the left earphone, plugged into an asus sound card on windows 10. After turning on the pc when I check the balance, the right ear is on 100% and left on 50% , when i raise left to 100% then lower the overall volume, it lowers the left ear way more than the right ear and it's really annoying to try to find the exact right setting every time you adjust it. It only plays even naturally when i shift the max volume to 100%

It's possible the physical wire that connects to the left ear is starting to come lose internally, which would result in a loss of volume. Only way to test for this is to jiggle the wire around and see if that makes any difference.

Tried another headset, same problem, so it's not the headset at least

sound card is balanced on 80/80
if i set volume mixer balance to 100/100 it's even if i lower it at all then left side goes quieter, if i put left on 80 right on 30 it sounds even :|
