    I'm using a JVC audio set with my computer through a CINC/jack converter cable. Looks like the right one's fallen silent and nothing can help it. It plays at such low volumes that I can't hear it if the other one's playing. Separately it's barely audible. I think it's not the fault of the CINC cable or plugs but rather something with the pictures. I've tried peeling the speaker cable a bit and cutting off the used up ends, but the result is still the same as it was before. What else could I do?

    I've had this same problem with 2 sets of speakers. One of them was going into an amplified (itself plugged into the PC) and switching the speakers also switched which one wasn't working, so I blamed it on the amplified. However with one of the smaller speaker pair (that plug directly into the PC) I had the same problem with (again!) the right speaker not working. I never did find out what the problem was, but I suspect it could be the plug going into the PC, or the line out port in the PC. Though they could have been 2 completely different problems.

    What do other speakers or headphones do when plugged in?
    A bit of a long shot, but perhaps updating your audio driver could help. Also does the speaker jack fit the whole way into the socket (if it can only go part way in then one of the speakers usually goes much quieter than the other)

    There's no jack on the speaker to audio set cable, actually. It just leads from the speaker to the audio set - the end of it is basically free copper.

    As for the jack-to-CINC converter, it's well battered, but I somehow don't suspect that's the reason, given the less than precise results of the testing I've done. I'm taking it on intuition, so maybe I'm wrong.
