Re: PC Speakers / Ampilier - No Output from Left Channel



Mark,

Check for something broken on the circuit board at the headphone jack. I've
had the jack fail, bad solder joints, or cracks in the foil traces cause
this. If you have an oscilloscope, look at the wave form coming into the
jack area for the left and right channels. It might be an easy fix. Good
luck...
