Sound from Only One Channel
1. The majority of the time, this problem happens only on external speakers. Reseating the speaker connection usually corrects the
problem.
2. Check the volume control in Windows and make sure the balance slider is not set all the way to one side.
3. If this problem is happening only on internal speakers, try shaking the unit to see if sound comes back or if it comes and goes
intermittently. If either of these occurs, a loose speaker connection most likely is the problem and the system needs service.
4. If this issue is happening only on external speakers and the previous steps did not help, then examine the audio connector for damage.
Test the system with Dell Diagnostics. If the problem persists there, then the audio connector needs to be replaced.
