I bought the Microlab M-700 speakers recently, set them up, and realized not long ago that the right speaker is quieter than the left speaker. This, of course, bugged me, so I looked into the manual, but that didn't help much. I then decided to switch the cables around so thet the right speaker was plugged into the left socket and the left speaker into the right socket, and the problem had now switched speakers, meaning it wasn't that one particular speaker being at fault.
After changing the cables back to their rightful sockets, I played around with the Realtek HD Audio Manager for a while and thought I fixed the problem when I set the Main Volume to 4 instead of 0, thus making the left speaker quieter and the right speaker louder, putting them at about equal values (so that I no longer could discern the difference). Nevertheless, I then right clicked on the speaker symbol in the bottom right corner of the task bar, selected Playback Devices, Properties, Levels, and noticed that the right speaker is already at 100 whereas the left speaker is now at 60, and when I dial up the volume on the subwoofer, the right speaker hits its limit much quicker.
Going back to the first paragraph, the problem is obviously not either of the speakers when a simple switch of the cables switches the problem too. I downloaded the newest driver and the problem remained. Is there anything else I can do that puts the speakers on equal footing at all times?
