Strange sound problem need help!

[Holyguardian]

Well I've actually been having this problem for a while now, but now it's staying with me for a long time. My problem is that sometimes randomly, I will loose sound in 1 ear, only having sound in my left ear. Then 30 minutes later, or sometimes when I restart my computer, it will come back. But now I'll have sound when my computer starts, and then only about 5 minutes later the sound in my left ear is gone and stays that until the next day, and then the same thing happens.

I've tried with many headphones and they all do the same thing, but I don't think it's a hardware issue, at least I hope not, because why would it have sound in both ears sometimes and sometimes not. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks

Sounds like corrupted drivers. You will need to determine which sound card you have find the drivers then reinstall them.

If you don't know, then run EVEREST and it will tell you, post it here and we will help find them.

Are you using a headphone jack in the front of the computer case? Appears maybe the connector inside is loose. Or is this a Laptop?

Apparently worked before then this just started?

it's a laptop, and the laptop speakers seem to be fine when I unplug the ear phones. But it's not the earphone's problem cause I tried many pairs, so I was thinking it's the jack's problem.

But it's really weird cause it'll be fine for like 10 minutes right when I restart, and go deaf in 1 ear. And then I won't move it at all, the next day it's back again.

is it possible that the jack is somehow loose? Is there anyway to fix this on a laptop?
