I have an Emachine W3050 with all the stock parts I.E. Nvidia GeForce 4 graphics CARD, Nforce 2 audio card and 512mb DDR SDram running Windows XP. My problem is this: I was doing ROUTINE cleaning of all the dust on the inside and outside of my computer today and when i was finished I hooked it back up and booted as normal with no DIFFICULTIES or problems except one. I only have sound out of the right side. I checked my speakers first thinking that would be the problem then i switched out a few all having the same problem. so i took the next step checking my audio on the computer itself. It was fine all centered NOTHING moved. And now I am at a loss. I am thinking i may have touched something inside the computer causing this. however there may be something i over looked on my desktop. please help.How did you CLEAN the dust from the inside? I hope you didn't use a vacuum cleaner...since this is not recommended...you can end up frying a card by ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). It's best to use compressed air and blow the dust out.

If this is not the case, you may want to try removing the hardware and reinstalling it.Remove the sound card and re-seat it...Quote from: patio on July 21, 2007, 09:15:52 AM
