Cant hear both channels from built in audio out

Hello :slight_smile:

I am having an issue with my built in audio controller. I can hear the right channel but not the left.

I have an analog connection from my 2.0 speakers to the Line Out jack on my motherboard, a Gigabyte Z370 HD3. Went into Audio System Settings and my Line Out is selected with an Analog Stereo Output profile.

I checked alsamixer and nothing seems to be muted. It works when set to my DisplayPort and routed through my monitor. I don’t get it, I just want analog audio.
