Sound wackyness

[Hurin]

I pluged a pair of head phones into the audio jack on the front of my case there was a pop and my computer froze. After I rebooted the sound jack in the front did not work. I opened the case and jiggled the wire. Now the front audio jack works, but for the left channel only. And the rear audio jack works but only for the right channel. I have no idea what to do. I would be greatfull for any suggestions.

I have onboard realtek ac'97 sound

There should be a front audio connector on your motherboard. If one of the channels isn't plugged in or jumpered it will fail to work on the rear and front. Of course this makes sense only if I assume you are confused about which channel is right or left when checking the rear and front jacks.
