Maybe before you might have accidentally had the jack in the sound card 
pushed in only halfway?  That would pipe the left channel to both 
speakers.  Are you sure you actually had stereo sound before, or might 
it just have been the same sound coming out of both speakers?

Otherwise, that's pretty weird :-)
