Computer only plays one channel of audio

  • Only getting one channel of audio with mic HELP

    I had been using Garageband with the built in mic to do my podcasts. I just got some real gear.
    Here is what I got... M Audio USB fast track, MXL V63MBP running on 10.3.9
    I am only getting one channel of audio through the mic. I have the settings on the mixer right and I have gone in the sound preferences and made sure it was right.
    On the track in garageband, I made sure that the real instrument settings were set to Stereo. I have been messing around with this thing for an HOUR and I am still only getting one channel of audio. I've done everything I've been able to come up with in google and still nothing works. If anyone has any ideas ,that would be swell because I'm beginning to think that the crappy built in mic on my mac is looking really good about now.

    You're welcome.
    The common confusion is that 'Stereo" means two speakers and "mono" means one. Stereo actually means two different signals going to the two speakers. Since a Mic is a mono input device, you set the track to mono so that the same sound comes out of both speakers. Enjoy --Hang

  • ITunes only playing one second of audio

    Yesterday, my iTunes was working fine, but this morning for some reason it only plays one second (if that) of any song/file in my playlist if the iTunes window is up. When I minimize iTunes, the file plays perfectly, but when the window is up, I'm just getting it jumping around through my files.
    When I press pause, iTunes doesn't pause, it just continues skipping through my files until I close the program and reopen it.
    I have the latest iTunes version (8.0.2), but I can't see where that would be the problem, because I didn't install it last night.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. . .

    My bad...
    I discovered last night that when I set up my speakers using a headphone 4 output monitor amp that the outputs weren't going stereo panned left/right.  Not iTunes fault, mine.

  • Stereo tunes only play one channel and Internet hangs after 4.21 Install

    My daughter recently updated her 2nd Gen iTouch to 4.21 which I assume is an operating system.  On stereo tunes, now only one of the stereo sound channels plays (right side).  On older monaural songs, both right and left earphones produce sound.  Also, Internet hangs now after initial home page load.  How do I either roll back to an older version of the OS or get fixes for 4.21?

  • IPad speaker only plays one channel

    I have a 3rd gen. wifi iPad 16 gb and just updated to iOS 7. Listening to the Beatles (who often had some pretty extreme stereo mixes) over the iPad speaker, I realized pretty quickly it was missing an entire speaker channel. The Settings/General/Accessibility/Hearing setting is NOT set to mono, and moving the slider to the left causes all the sound to drop out, so the entire left speaker channel is muted. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

    Hello there Floydmulder,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You went to the first place I would have by checking the Audio Accessibility options. Next, if you have not already, restart the iPad and try again.
    Restarting your iOS device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    From: iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Then close all the running apps, restart it again, and test the issue.
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    From: iOS: Force an app to close

    And if the issue persists, I would backup and restore the phone with iTunes. First I would restore the phone as new, and test the issue. If it persists then that rules out software. If it works, then restore from your backup, and test again to see if there is something to do with the backup.

  • ONLY ONE CHANNEL OF AUDIO WITH SONY PMW-200

    Hi,
    When I automate to sequence using video shot on my Sony PMW-200 I only get one channel of audio, when the preset in Premiere clearly states 8 channels of 24 bit audio. If I drag a clip to the timeline all 8 channels are there, but then I have to trim the beginning and end of each clip in order to do transitions, which would take forever on a wedding video. There must be other PMW-200 users who have this same problem. I am shooting in UDF mode 422 at 50 mb/sec on the Sony and just updated my Premiere CS 6.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    similar question, I found a thread that may solve your problem: Sony PMW-200 file import into Premiere Pro CS6 only get 1 Ch. audio, you can go for a look. Or you can try some converters to help you.      Handbrake, any video converter, ffmpeg,imixmxf, transcode them first, then reload into premiere.

  • Only one channel of audio recorded with external USB audio interface on DV6604nr

    I only get on channel of audio when i hookup my Behringer UCA202 to my dv6604nr
    vista 32 sp2 . The Behringer takes analog 2 channel audio and converts it to a digital signal.
    This is using the Audacity software. The hardware and software check fine, though i tested them with an xp system.
    Are there trouble shooting tips for these issues. I've updated the Audacity software and the usb drivers say their up to date. (?)

    Come on... It's just like a usb turntable, only a little better quality. What steps would you use to troubleshoot one of those?

  • Why does my nested sequence have only one channel of audio?

    Hi,
    Working in Prem Pro CC on my Mac Pro.
    I have  a number of interviews, each shot with 3 cameras and with audio from a separate audio recorder. The audio has two channels, Ch1 has the boom mic and Ch2 a radio mic.
    I created a sequence, placed the audio into channels 1 & 2 (they are linked) before placing the video tracks onto timeline tracks 1-3. Everything's synced nicely and so I nested the shots and then I enabled multicam on the nested sequence.
    However, now when I edit the nested sequence into my edit sequence, it has only one channel of audio. I tried Modify>Audio Channels but within that page, in the option to select 'Source Channels' the options are "None" and "Channel 1".
    How do I get my nested sequence to place both audio channels into my edit sequence?
    Any help much appreciated.

    Nevermind folks, I figured it out. I had my render control settings set to Apple Pro Res on some timelines.

  • FCP only capturing one channel. what's up with that!?

    in FCP 7 while i am logging and capturing HDV footage off of my canon XLH1, only one channel of audio is captured. originally the audio was shot using 2 separate channels, in fact, i can hear both channels playing back (each on their own sound level/they are not mixed) while the capture is happening.. but when i'm done, FCP has only captured one of the channels.
    how can i resolve this problem?

    in my capture bin, after i've captured the clip, it shows that only one audio clip was captured. when i drag it into the timeline, only one audio channel is present.
    my lost channel was on a wireless mic, as was the saved channel.
    fcp is only capturing one channel even when i log other tapes that did not have separated audio channels.
    i'm guessing there is some setting that is now off while i capture, because it used to capture audio just fine last week.

  • Capture Prob -- only capturing one channel of sound

    I'm capturing hdv, as I always do, but for some reason I'm only getting one track Mono A1 of sound. When playing back or capturing, I am hearing both tracks, left and right, playing through my speakers.
    But when I capture, I only get one track. I need the second track because I had two mikes and two separate channels coming through.
    Any suggestions on what I can do? Can't figure why it's only capturing one side of audio... Thanks.

    re: the decklink comment - that was directed to the thread jacker ... lol.
    re: cloned system drives. Updating does not create a clone automatically. It is something you have to do. In the interest of locking the barn door after the paddle has been lost upstream - get a firewire drive as large as your system drive. Download a copy of Carbon Copy Cloner (shareware) and when your system gets working again, Clone the working drive to the firewire drive. This is your insurance when you update the OS, QT and/or any of the FCS pro apps.
    Once you have a clone, if your update goes wrong, you can copy the clone back over the bunged installation and be back up and running within an hour or so.
    Regarding FCP 6.0.4, perhaps someone archived a version (or you can find it on the FCP updates page). If you use Software update, it will want to install the most recent version.

  • Instrument track only plays one track at a time

    Logic Studio will only play one instrument track at a time. Whenever I click to another instrument track I lose the sound. The channel strip meter still shows that the instrument is playing but there is no sound. When I click back on that channel strip I can hear the sound again. Although the channel strip meter works, the strip in the mixer doesn't show any signal at all. It seems that the track is working but there doesn't seem to be any output to the mixer. I have checked all of the solo buttons and none are on. I opened a blank project and all of the software instruments worked just fine; it is only in this project that I can't get more than one instrument track to play at a time.

    still plays only one instrument track at a time
    I think this project might be damaged, and it would be great if we could take a look at it, as Bee Jay suggested. In the meantime, you should try what Erik suggested about option-click. And here are a few other ideas, although I'm not too optimistic.
    Select any region and press S. Three things should happen: this region should have a yellow outline, the ruler should turn yellow, and the solo button in the transport bar should turn yellow. Press S again, and those three things should revert to normal. Is this what happens? It just might be helpful to know.
    In the Mixer window, find the button at the top that says "All," and select it. Make sure to look at every channel strip. No yellow S button anywhere? Do you see any Mute buttons flashing?
    Press option-K to open the key commands window. In the search box, type "solo off" (without the quote marks). You will see the command 'Solo off for all.' Probably no key is assigned. Give it a key (option-1 might be a good choice, because it's probably available). Close the key commands window, and press the key stroke. Better now?
    The channel strip meter still shows that the instrument is playing but there is no sound. When I click back on that channel strip I can hear the sound again. Although the channel strip meter works, the strip in the mixer doesn't show any signal at all.
    I have a feeling that when you say "channel strip meter" you mean 'track header meter.' Because it's completely normal that when a midi track is muted (e.g., because another track is soloed) that the track header meter will keep lighting up, even though there's no sound and even though the meter in the mixer (on what is properly called the channel strip) is dark.
    The meter in the track header is just indicating that Logic is reading midi from the track. Whether or not that midi gets to become sound is something that happens downstream, and is not reflected in this meter.

  • Can only play one podcast at a time

    Hi,
    I have just upgrade from a 3g iPod to a 5g. On the older iPod I could pick a podcast and it would play all the episodes one after another. Now it will only play one at a time and shows 1 of 1 in the display. I can see 5 episodes if I actually go into the playlist. My Nano does the samething.
    Is there a setting I am missing that can change this?
    Best wishes
    Michael

    Well now I'm doubly .
    Steve, did you try playing a Podcast episode in List view? I ask, because after Creydon's last post I  read, re-read and read it again to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Consequently I tried playing some Podcasts.
    The results are odd, even after re-booting my computer.
    In List view:
    Started a Podcast episode playing.
    Checked the Up Next list. It was empty - not what I expected, but I'll go with the flow.
    At the end of the episode, the following episode began playing. This makes no sense to me, if the list is empty, why does another episode begin? If this is expected behaviour, I did not realise that the Up Next only dealt with music, not Podcasts.
    Turned on Shuffle, then turned it off again before the episode finished.
    When this episode finished, a further Podcast began - at random! This also makes no sense, particularly as the Up Next was still empty. iTunes was in Shuffle mode, and was shuffling Podcasts!
    Turned Shuffle back on and this time, left it on.
    At the end of the episode, iTunes stopped. At last, expected behaviour!
    As I'm sure you are aware, by default iTunes sets all Podcasts to Skip when shuffling, so in Shuffle mode, once a Podcast finishes, since all the others are set to skip, iTunes should stop. But if Shuffle is turned on then off again, iTunes mistakenly plays Podcasts at random, even though Shuffle has been turned off! Surely, this is a bug?
    At least though, it is possible to make iTunes play one Podcast episode, then stop, (as I expected, so not a bug at this point!). Simply turn on Shuffle (and leave it on).

  • ITunes only plays one song at a time

    After much toing and froing on my new computer, I now have all my songs re-imported into the library. However, iTunes will now only play one song at a time: after it plays one song it just halts; the forward arrow is just greyed out. Any ideas would be most welcome!

    Try checking all of those little boxes. To check all at once, hold ctrl while checking one.

  • I-tunes 7.7.1 only plays one song at a time

    Hi, help me please.
    My i-tunes is now only playing one song at a time, the song will end and i-tunes stops. It will not move onto the next song even when I've got the song as part of a gapless album. This has just happened, it used to work fine before.
    I did uninstall and delete the version I had on my computer and downloaded and installed another however the problem still exists.
    Any advice would be great thanks

    Is all the boxes to the left of the song titles checked?

  • TS5181 I downloaded a song but even after the download is complete, it only plays one second of the song and then it ends.

    I downloaded a song to from iTunes, but even after the download is complete it only plays one second of the song and then it ends. Any ideas?

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
