Audio still only comes from one ear despite numerous troubleshooting steps and reinstalling Windows
If the monitor speakers function but headphones connected to the monitor fail, the issue likely lies with the headphones themselves. The PC wouldn't detect the headphones being used.
Use the setup utility for the integrated audio device on your motherboard. I assume it's a Realtek model. Examine your speaker and headphone configurations. If either is configured for mono output instead of stereo, this issue might occur.
From your message, it seems there might be some confusion about the audio jack configuration and potential issues. The details provided suggest possible complications with adapters or splitters. Further clarification could help identify the exact problem.
The problem has been resolved; it turned out the secondary headphones I tried were affected by the same issue as my main headset, suggesting no real improvement. Thank you for your assistance—it's greatly appreciated. Now it's time to invest in a new headset, haha.
