hello new user here, hope this is correct. audio will only play through left channel. using headphones and desktop speakers. for the past few months all was fine until the other day after turning my system on i noticed my audio wasn't playing properly. any advice would be helpful on how to fix the issue. thanks in advance. if i am going about this in the wrong way on this forum than let me know.
