Hi, two years ago I bought SteelSeries v2 headset, I sort of like the sound, but it seems like there is big quality problem. I returned headset two times to the seller, because right speaker stopped working and also one time I paid for after-warranty repair, few weeks later right speaker was dead again. As I have the right equipment I decide to repair it by myself.
I disassembled the headset and re-solder parts which were poor quality. (I had summer job in factory, soldering about 4 months, so I think it's better than before). Right speaker still not working. I used analog multimeter and tested the cable from Audio Jack to the speaker's contacts.
Ground Jack to Right Speaker Ground = OK
Ground Jack to Left Speaker Ground = OK
Left Jack to Left Speaker = OK
Right Jack to Right Speaker = OK
But I noticed that when I touch the wires with multimeter's with test leads the Left Speaker do some cracking noise, it's not important which wire I touched, Left Speaker always cracked, Right Speaker was muted. I touched Right Speaker wire only and no cracking sound at all.
I have no electrical/technical education, I'm just enthusiast. Is there anything I could do to find out what's wrong with the headset?
Volume Knob Detail - before re-soldering, right wiring looks poorly soldered

Thanks in advance for any advice.
