Only One Of My Speakers Is Working

Ive had my MHC-GX470 for a long part of my life, and it has always been reliable.The problem is that now for some reason, only one of the outlets is working. On my system there are three outputs : 1 for the subwoofer and the other 2 for the left and right speakers. After making sure all are connected securely, when i turn it on, only the left speaker was working. I found the other two work, but they are very quiet. I tried switching the 2 speakers around, and found that whichever i plug into the left output works. I even cold reset my MHC-GX470, but no luck.Any advice?
