Exaggerated panning audio on my computer

I have used this computer for a long time and I use normally 2 types of headphones, one normal pair and one pair for gaming, they never had any problem.
Yesterday when I came from work, when I turned my computer on I instantly noticed that the sound wasnt right, looks a bit more tunneled and with extreme panning, like the sound exit side is exagerated and supressed from the oposite side, like im playing a game and the game makes a sound thats on the right, it exit on the right and a bit on the left, but now is really really exagerated, all sounds just exit with a dominant side and never centered. Its now making me with headaches. I tested in both headphones/headsets, removed all windows sound effects, but this doesnt go away, also installed the gaming headsets software and nothing changed, I don't know how to make better, any one knows if is possible to center more the sound, like reduce the stereo panning?

Thanks for read.

    Hi joaopedro_2000,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    You can check or change the left/right channel volume by: 

    1. Right click on the audio icon on the lower-right corner, and select Sound Settings.2. Under Advanced, click All sound devices.3. Click on the output device, which is abnormal, then adjust its Output settings.

    Please feel free to let me know how it goes.
