Recently after opening up my computer for the first time and installing a new video card (SAPPHIRE 3650) I have no sound in the left speaker of anything, while the right speaker is perfectly fine. My new headset, my speakers that came with the computer and my old headset all don't have left speaker sound. I have checked the balances and they are all equal, if I turn them to the left I get no sound at all. When I installed the latest ati drivers I disabled the hd sound drivers that it has so it the sound would work. The sound still doesn't work in any left speaker after a reinstall of windows I did a few days ago.

I would guess that when you installed your new card you may have loosened up a cable connection inside your tower somewhere (or don't have one fully seated). If I understand you correctly, you have the same issue going on with your headphones which would lead me to that conclusion.
Just a thought... |

I know I had to unplug one or two wires to put in my video card, but I am pretty sure they went back in all the way. I also can hear sound in the left speaker sometimes if I don't fully insert the plug all the way. |

Well, you know it's not the speaker, seeing how it also does it with the headphones. Probably have to get a sound card. I really don't think there's anything inside to bump, unless you have front pane audio

Check the jack you're using. Is it stereo or mono? If it's mono, there's your problem ;)

I know when I opened up my case to put the video card in, I had the unplug the front audio pannel cable. But I replugged it right and the audio ports of the motherboard have no sound from the left speaker.
