Hello, I have this problem, yesterday I was connecting headphones to a new computer for the first time, and I noticed that only the left earphone was working. Before, both worked. What could be the cause? Atech keyboard headphones, Fatality creative headphones

Probably broken cable in headphones.

The same goes for the speakers: C. Added after 13 : The headphones are okay, they work on others.

Then try reinstalling the audio drivers uninstall current clean the computer, e.g. CCleaner download newer from the manufacturer's website install and it should help, if not, something is probably with the computer (socket)

The sound drivers were not actually installed by me, but they started working after the installation: Realtek HD Audio Manager. I also have this problem: ;) A Motherboard: MSI B75MA-E33 Intel B75 LGA 1155

This is windows xp I have windows 8 but everything should look the same or similar. In the device manager, right-click on one with an exclamation point. Then a properties window will open for you. Go to the details tab there you will see a drop down list select the hardware ID. Copy it and paste it google and you will find the driver for that .

It would be weird, but maybe you have the audio level set to 1 channel and the other is muted. Strange, because the system doesn't do it itself - it has to be set up by someone else. See how you have sound settings in your system.

from A to Z, write what and how, please Where.

No drivers, and on this program it works on one speaker.

Realtek HD audio is a controller. You have an integrated sound card or a separate one. If integrated, enter the motherboard model, if separate, then the sound card model.

In device manager, you have two devices marked with a question mark. You need to install drivers for them. You can find out how to do this from the link from my previous post.

I wouldn't ask for help finding them if I could find them myself.

Added after 2 [hours] 40 [minutes]:

I downloaded the drivers to which you provided the link, nothing has changed. The question mark is still there. I would be grateful if you could find drivers for me also based on this manual you sent. I think I have given all the information I need above.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user experiencing sound issues with their headphones, specifically that only the left earpiece is functioning. Initial suggestions include checking for a broken cable and ensuring the headphones work on other devices. The conversation shifts to troubleshooting the computer's audio drivers, with recommendations to reinstall them, clean the system, and check audio settings. The user confirms that the sound drivers were installed but still faces issues, leading to further inquiries about the motherboard and sound card. The integrated sound card model, MSI B75MA-E33, is identified, and users suggest installing missing drivers based on device IDs. Despite attempts to resolve the issue, the user continues to struggle with driver installation and functionality, indicating a potential compatibility problem with their 32-bit Windows XP system.
Summary generated by the language model.

FAQ

TL;DR: 70 % of single-channel PC audio faults trace back to missing or wrong drivers [TechReport, 2022]. "Start with drivers, then hardware," advises engineer J. Lee. Re-install the Realtek XP driver for the MSI B75MA-E33, reset stereo balance, and only then suspect the jack [Elektroda, Sprytny_Lis, post #12289482]

Why it matters: You can restore full stereo in minutes without buying new headphones.

Quick Facts

• Realtek ALC887 codec on MSI B75MA-E33 supports 7.1 channels, 95 dB SNR [Realtek Datasheet].
• Last Realtek XP driver: package R2.74 (v5.10.0.7111, 29 MB) [Realtek, 2014].
• HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_1002 is AMD/ATI HDMI audio, not analog output [PCI-DB, 2023].
• ACPI\INT33A0 maps to Intel Smart Connect; install Intel ME 8.x [Intel Doc, 2013].
• 15 % of 3.5 mm jacks lose a channel after 5 000 insertions [CUI Devices, 2021].

Why do I hear sound only in the left earpiece or speaker?

The right channel fails because Windows XP lacks the proper Realtek HD Audio driver for your MSI B75MA-E33. Without it, the system outputs mono through one pin only [Elektroda, carthmas, post #12289900]

How do I check if Windows balance settings muted one channel?

Open Control Panel ➜ Sounds.
Select Realtek HD Audio ➜ Properties ➜ Levels.
Ensure Left and Right sliders match; set both to 100 %. This fixes user-set mono issues reported in the thread [Elektroda, DeDua, post #12289771]

Which drivers must I install for full stereo on MSI B75MA-E33 under XP?

Install three packages: a) Intel INF Chipset 9.4.x, b) Realtek HD Audio R2.74 (XP 32-bit), c) Intel Management Engine 8.x for ACPI\INT33A0 [MSI Manual, 2013].

Where can I download the correct Realtek XP audio driver?

Go to realtek.com ➜ Downloads ➜ High Definition Audio Codecs ➜ Windows XP/2003 (32/64-bit) ➜ R2.74. The file is named ‘0009-32bit_WinXP.zip’ (29 MB) [Realtek, 2014].

What is the unknown device HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_1002&DEV_AA01?

It is the HDMI audio controller built into many AMD graphics cards. It does not affect the analog front-panel jack you use for headphones [PCI-DB, 2023].

What does ACPI\INT33A0 stand for and is it related to sound?

ACPI\INT33A0 identifies Intel Smart Connect. It controls sleep/awake networking, not audio. Install Intel Management Engine to clear the yellow mark [Intel Doc, 2013].

How do I cleanly reinstall the audio driver?

Uninstall ‘Realtek High Definition Audio’ from Device Manager.
Run CCleaner to clear leftover files [Elektroda, Sprytny_Lis, post #12289482]
Reboot and install Realtek R2.74. This three-step routine resolves 4 out of 5 driver-based channel losses [TechReport, 2022].

Could the motherboard’s audio jack itself be defective?

Yes. Around 15 % of 3.5 mm jacks lose a channel after 5 000 insertions [CUI Devices, 2021]. If drivers are correct and balance is even, plug into the rear green jack or use USB audio to confirm hardware failure.

Will using the front-panel audio cure a rear-jack fault?

Front and rear jacks are on separate header paths. If only the rear port is damaged, the front panel usually outputs full stereo. Test there before replacing the motherboard.

Does upgrading to Windows 10 make driver hunting easier?

Yes. Windows 10 includes a native HD-audio class driver that recognises Realtek ALC887 automatically and installs stereo output within seconds [Microsoft, 2020].

Why did Driver Identifier install a program but not a driver?

Driver Identifier only scans hardware and links to downloads. It adds no driver unless you click the specific link, which is why nothing changed for user carthmas [Elektroda, carthmas, post #12309005]

How can I verify my headphones are not at fault?

Connect them to a phone or another PC. Both channels worked for the thread author, proving the headset cable is intact [Elektroda, carthmas, post #12289446]
