yeah, go over the ducts really careful, you very well may find a adjust lever sticking out someplace in any duct that you can open up and let more air flow to those other vents. Based on your post this very well maybe the case. Sometimes it can be a challenge finding it, if there is one, depending on the type, there most likely is just a little lever sticking out someplace which allows you to change the airflow. Alot of times its covered with insulation or duct sealing, so you have to feel around where it might be.
This is one example to give a general idea as to what I am talking about. When we moved into our home, new at the time, our Master needed just a little more air and they installed one in the flex duct to slightly close off one area of the house and force more air to the master. At the same time, you may have one leading to the ductwork in the basement that is closed off or slightly closed off.
Then there are others like below or just do an image search for "air balancers"
Of course if you dont have flex duct it will be sticking out of the metal duct work someplace. they are really hard to find, even I know where they installed ours and its still hard to find *L*
