Sound from only one speaker?

#1

Post by Ransaap » Fri Mar 01, 2013 6:09 pm

Hi all.

I use a Cinergy T Video USB stick on a Win 7 x64 system with an analog cable signal.
It all works pretty good, but while watching TV I only get sound out of my right speaker.
When testing in the setup both speakers work fine.
Anyone have any ideas what can cause this?

Thanks,

Paul

Does this happen on all channels? What happens if you play the recorded TV on another PC?

It does happen on all channels.
I don't have another pc to try it on, but playing the recorded files with windows mediaplayer has the same result.
It seems to me that it only reads one of the audiochannels or it's mono audio which it only plays on 1 speaker.
But I really don't know what I'm talking about so more help would be welcome :crazy:

Maybe there's a chance it's not something on your end and the channels are accidentally being sent with mono audio from the station?

Normally mono is on the left speaker methinks.

I've tested the signal on my tv, switched from the digital receiver to analog and there I have stereo sound.
It seems the speakers on my PC are switched, so it only produces sound from what should be the left speaker.
I assume it could have something to do with mono settings then? Can't find anything about it in WMC options though.

Thanks for thinking with me btw, I really appreciate it
