Hello. So I purchased a new ASUS laptop a few weeks ago, and the audio was working perfectly till yesterday. The cable from my headphones got stuck inside of my audio jack on the laptop, and basically there was a metal piece stuck inside the jack that prevented me from plugging anything inside, and I finally managed to get it out, and now I can only hear audio from one side on my headphones. I tested the headphones on a different laptop and they work perfectly, so that's not the issue. I also checked the balance settings on the ASUS laptop, and Left/Right is both set to 100%. So I have no idea what to do. Is my audio jack defective now?
 
Solution
The left and right rings could have been damaged inside, that's possible.

Maybe try blowing air in it, might still be crap in there.
