    Does anyone with the 8570w have no or low sound from left speaker? I noticed if you take the back cover off there's no hole for the left speaker as there is for the right. (When you take the cover off and turn it upside down it's the right side since you're looking at it backwards.)

    Shouldn't really matter whether it's covered or not, the wiring might simply not make contact. If you have a friend with a multimeter have them check.

    have you checked the balance setting of the sound card?

    Yes I checked the balance and changed it and that's not the problem. Is everyone's 8570w left speaker the same with no hole for the sound to get through?
