sound card issues

im running my computer thru my surround sound system,and im haivng issues.i dont have any other speakers,so i cant use anything else,but when i listen to music,etc. my sound is fuxxored.i beleive its playing the right side more then the left,kinda like 2 seperate mono settings playing at different levels.i generally get a hollow sound-like im listening to the music from far away in a sewer-kinda like an odd echo.ive checked my speakers,and their alright.i only get the weird sound when i listen to it from my computer.it could be my sound card........but i dont know.my equalizer isnt even helping......it almost does,but i dont know.

If it sounds hollow, it's probably a bad connection on the card or in the jack. I've heard this quite often when left and right channels start mixing signals due to a kink in a cable.

so i should try a new cable,and if that doesnt work,change the cards slot,and if that doesnt work,buy a new sound card? XD lawl

Try a different cable, maybe you'll get lucky. You'll probably have to replace the card.
