Default Problem with headphones.

The sound works on my computer, my speakers work normally, but whenever I plug my headphones in, the sound only comes from the left ear. There is none coming from the right. I went in the sound settings, but everything seems fine.
What could it be? I'm pretty sure my headphones work perfectly, usually.

are you sure you're plugging the headphones all the way in?

on the connector there's two metal areas seperated by a sorta black rubber ring and that's left and right channel. make sure the rubber ring isn't broken or missing.

also, mess around with the wires going into the connector and the headphones themselves to see if there's any bad connections. lots of time the wires get slightly severed where they enter the connector.

other than that, maybe it's time for new headhpones?! have you tried them on a another audio device?

Yeah, I tried them, but it's still only the left side with sound. I guess I'm gonna have to change my headphones.. but I have no money. xP Oh well.
