I just found out today I had my left and right speaker inputs switched. I probably didn’t noticed because I switched them on my speakers and in the line out from my computer so that essentially created a double negative, and I never noticed… maybe. I’m sure I’ve noticed before but had issues figuring out why and forgot to deal with it.
Well today I noticed one of my speakers wasn’t working and found the problem, a loose connection. Before finding out the source of the problem, I messed around w/ the left and right channels on my receiver as well as messing around w/ headphones to check as well. Since one channel wasn’t working, switching to receiver to the right channel only should’ve made it only output from the left channel, but the right channel was playing.
Luckily, this was all an easy fix. Since the issue was the analog output from my computer, switched that in my output box. This explains why the optical output to my other receiver didn’t experience this issue. Then I had to go to my receiver and switch which wire was going to which channel and now it works properly. Awesome.
