I use my laptop for disco's, usually i use a audio interface, though sometimes i use the headphone jack, when i use the headphone jack i sometimes lose one side of the audio. What can i do to fix this problem?

Hi stenofinlayson, first you would need to identify where the problem lies, do you get a similar problem when connecting headphones into the headphone port?

If it is the headphone port that is the problem then it would probably be cheaper to try a USB replacement before getting your laptop reapired.
