2 channels playing out of 1 speaker - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

For some reason today when I tried to watch a movie, the sound was all echoed and messed up. After listening to each speaker, I realized that the one rear speaker is playing both right and left at once, while one isn't playing at all.

Both speakers work themselves I tested them each in different spots, but if there both plugged in, both channels play from the left speaker, and if only one is plugged in, it gets both channels no matter which plug it's in.

I used the creative speaker test, and it does front right and left fine, but rear right and left come out of the one only. No idea whats going on with it, I tried changing settings etc. nothing worked. Not sure if its the speakers or the computer that's doing it. I've tried different movies, MP3s, different programs playing them etc. I even uninstalled my codec pack (K-lite codec pack) same thing.

Speakers are 4.1 Creative Soundworks FPS1800, sound card is a Live Value and I'm running winXp pro. I'm out of ideas so I was hoping I could get some here.
