Siberia V2 Frost Blue USB - Low volume and static in left ear cup on stereo, perfect on Mono

Hi guys,

I got a pair of Siberia V2 Frost Blue on USB that exhibit a strange issue. If I open Winamp, or go play anything on them in stereo I get perfect sound in the right ear cup and distorted sound on the left and the volume in general is low. But if I move the slider to either the left or right side in Winamp (to get mono) the volume starts rising and the sound clears up until it's perfect, clear sound in both ear cups. I checked the wiring and soldering in the left ear cup and also the joints (the on/off mic switch and the usb dongle) but everything is fine. I'm left with the impression that, it's either the sound chip which is broken (CX20774) that is leaking when it receives stereo input or ... something else.

Has anyone experience this sort of problem with any pair of USB headsets?
