Just purchased a Dell Inspirion 531 desktop pc from gumtree for £90 with 19" monitor,keyboard,mouse and tower when i plug the 3.5 connection in rear for my pc speakers it only comes out 1 speaker so thought i needed new speakers but remembered when i went round to see the pc the bloke had it connected to the front which ive just done and voila i have speakers working,drivers say everything is working ok so any idea why they dont both work when plugged in rear. :(
 
Searched on the net and it looks like a known issue for Dell computers :(


If its just the sound thats buggin ya and you aint bothered about true stereo then either get a Stereo to Mono 4mm adapter or break in and join the red/white wires together hey preston you,ll now have sound (albeit mono) from both speakers, or fit a pci SC and bios out ya onboard.

Thanks for all the replys...will keep the speakers plugged in the front nothing drastic but thought there was an easy fix :)
