Is it the same speaker cable or different? Could be the
cable or the sound card jack.

You could try a different cable and take the sound card out
and examine the jack including the solder pads on the back
of it (in case the solder was bad or stress has pulled the
socket up). If your case has a metal piece intefering with
the cable plugging into the sound card fully, you might try
slightly repositioning the card so the cable plug seats in
the socket better.
