Can't get external speakers to work properly on laptop
Alright, I've been trying to find anyone with a similar problem, tried some different things but none worked.
I have a jack on the side of the laptop as usual, where I plug my headphones which do work perfectly. The laptop's internal speakers also work. The problem comes when I try to plug in external speakers. So far I've tried 3 sets, 2 of them with a jack plug and one with a normal USB plug. The issue is with all 3 that only one half works properly, the other is very quiet and distorted. I've also tried streaming sound onto my phone and plugging the speakers into the phone itself, but same deal as before.
Is it a hardware issue? If yes, why do headphones and the internal speakers work?
If anyone has any ideas I'd be thankful.
I'm running windows 10 home 64bit on a Lenovo y500
