OK guys, i have to say i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to sound systems & electronics, so i'll try to explain the problem as best as i can.
Bought myself a pair of Microlab Solo-7 (http://www.microlab.cn/product/speakers/2.0%20SERIES/SOLO-7.htm) speakers a couple of weeks ago, all fine and dandy until last evening when i noticed something akward. The left channel is MUCH MUCH louder than the right one all of a sudden. (if i set the balance at 100% right it's barely audible)
If i disconnect the left speaker, the right speaker's sound levels are back to normal but if i connect the left speaker all hell breaks loose, lol. Now, i tried my old trusty Logitech speakers and they work fine so it's not the sound card's fault. I've bought a new RCA cable but to no avail. I've even tried connecting the speakers to my MP3 player and it's still acting up when both speakers are connected.
I don't know what to do, i could send them back to the shop's service but that's in another city and it could take ages. Could it be possible that there's an internal problem (maybe the built-in amplifier)? I know some people who are good at this sort of thing and maybe i could spare some weeks waiting for it to be fixed.
Thanks in advance, hopefully you could understand something from this nonsense.
