The headphone jack on the computer is broken. It's a hardware issue, it is not a software issue. About 50% of the time, the audio only plays out of the left ear. If I put a lot of force upwards on the audio jack, it'll play out of both ears, but I don't really like to put that torque on my jack as they really aren't built to support torque and I don't want to break my cables. Yes, I've tried different headphones, different audio cables, but as shown by my computer, HP doesn't know how to build ports as my USB is also sort of busted, but that's a different story.
My computer is out of warranty, so it's probably a lost cause, but if you can offer some sort of solution, or out of mercy offer some sort of repair, it'd be really appreciated
That being said, HP, please get your act together, it isn't difficult to build a computer that has a working headphone jack or usb port (or actually hibernates when I click hibernate, or the other various problems this 2 year old computer has had)
