Distorted Audio - soundcard broken?
Is my soundcard broken?
Just a day ago I accidentally yanked my headphone cord while it was in the socket(the one on the back of my desktop). This broke the plastic around the edge.
Now when I plug my headphones in again, the sound is missing half of the frequencies(rendered unintelligible) and is very quiet.
I have a socket on the front of my desktop as well, and when plugged in from there I still have the same problem. Jiggling the cord in the socket will change some of the frequencies and the pan, but it doesn't fix the problem. I have also tried restarting the computer as well as banging on it, but so far I still have the problem.
I'm on windows 10, my motherboard is a msi CSM-B75MA-P45. I think my audio driver is realtek.
Any help is appreciated.
