Disabling Stereo Sound

Hi,
I am partially deaf in one ear and so listening to music with stereo sound through headphones can ruin it, is there any way to disable stereo sound to the headphones jack?
Thanks.

Nevermind I did more digging and found it, follow the path:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click Audio.
Select the “Play stereo audio as mono” checkbox.
Hope this helps someone else.

Disabling the sound card in Vi

I'm trying to run integrated sound out of my motherboard to get around an issue with KOTOR II crashing when the sound card is enabled in Vista. I can disable the sound card in the device manager, but that just causes a complete lack of audio everywhere.
How do I get my motherboard to start producing sound after I've disabled the sound card?

This one provides both stereo both in and out

Disable all sound from application

Hi,
I need to disable all sound or volume from my application upon a button press. I have a html component within my app that i need to be muted, for example if the user loads the youtube website and selects a video, the video should play but without any sound?
Can this be done?
Cheers

I am having a similar problem....didn't recognize it until today.... I wasn't getting any sound out of the right side of my headphones....Unplugged them....wasn't getting anything out of the right front speaker....Hmmmswap them around...speaker is good... Take apart the base unit for the Inspire 5400....nope, that's looks ok....plug it all back in....check wiring...plug everything in correctly....test speakers with Creatives software....all sound is now coming out of the front speakers....nothing out of the rear.... I can't figure it out....it is getting late...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Stereo sound from all speake

Hii, I have a X-Fi Xtreme music and a 5. speaker setup, can someone tell me how can I get stereo sound from all of my speakers? thanks in advance.

Hmmm, I don't have an X-Fi, but to answer your question the first thing someone needs to know is how you have your speakers connected. If, for example, you're running throgh a receiver you need to separately output each channel (using 3.5mm mini plug to RCA cables/converters you would buy at Radio Shack) to the external decoder of your receiver. Of course, in that insance, you would output the DD source stream from the optical out of the card through the optical in of the receiver; stereo playback would be from a 2. signal. I run both configs on mine. Now, if you're running computer speakers already plugged into the correct outputs of the sound card that's a different question, and it's one I can only relate from my experience with the Audigy 2 software.

How do you disable the sound when sending tweets from "Click to Tweet" in the Notification Center?

So, ever since the "Click to Tweet" button appeared, anytime you post to Twitter with it, your heard a bird whistling sound. This was cute at first, but has become increasingly annoying (and probably not just to me, but also to my co-workers). Sure, I could mute my speakers prior to sending, but a.) I usually forget, and b.) I shouldn't have to.
In a similar manner, the "Click to Post" to Facebook button makes the "woosh" noise that Mail.app makes when sending an email.
These sounds should be able to be disabled or muted. The only solution I've found online so far is to move/rename/change permissions of the actual sound file itself on the file system. That seems way to extreme.
In summary: am I just missing some obvious setting, or is there really no way to mute/disable these sounds?

The best way to do this is to leave all files unchanged, but render the file containing that horrendous bird noise unreadable to the system. Open a terminal window, and paste this command:
sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/Frameworks/Social.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.twitter.xpc/C ontents/Resources/TwitterSent.caf
That's it. Your Tweets should hereinafter be silent unless you change TwitterSent.caf's permissions again.

Stereo sound using SO Write

Hi.
I'm trying to play one tone out of my left speaker and another on my right.
I have configured my sound devise to stereo using "SO CONFIG". Then I send
the tones to "SO Write" using a 2d array.
I hear to tones, but the problem is that the same sound is coming from both
speakers.
I need to have the tones separate to each speaker.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You may want to post this to a Data Acquisition forum, as you would probably be talking with engineers that have more experience with this sort of thing. However, I do have a bit of experience with it. If you are wanting to send out analog signals to the different speakers independently, you will need to have two different channels to write to. Does your sound card supply this capability? I assume that if a card allows stereo sound, it would have multiple channels to write to. Let us know what you find out.

Ipod doesn't produce stereo sound from iphone built-in speakers?

I've had my iphone for some time now, but just noticed that when playing music from the ipod built-in to the iphone, the music is only coming from one speaker (the one on the bottom left).
Is that normal? I would assume both speakers would be used?
I checked the settings and couldn't find a setting for "stereo sound" and did a forum search and couldn't find an answer.

fair enough i didn't think i had posted it in the right forum, so i posted it in the ipod/audio one as well....
anyway, thanks for the answer.

Are you not getting stereo? What are you listening with - maybe there's a plug problem...

Upconverting Stereo sound to Surround 5.1 or higher?

Does something of the sort exist for linux? I'm just having a hard time living without the "CMSS-3D" feature of the windows soundblaster drivers. They also have an alternative called DTS:Connect which includes DTS:Neo PC (which i could use) and DTS:Interactive, is there any way to utilize those functions of my card?
Creative's Crystalizer and Sound Volume Management i can live without in fact i can live without everything except equalizer and Stereo to Surround conversion, it's the latter i'm having a hard time finding on linux, do you know any solution to this problem?

That's one useful sig you've got there , Thanks!
Right now i'm just focusing on converting stereo sound into 5.1, i'll need to play a bit with the config file (since i have very rarely configured it) to test that function though so i don't know yet if i need any additional effects or distortion, but it would be nice to know about which ones are available, i quite like tweaking my sound to perfection, thats why i even have a soundblaster card to begin with.
Quoting Wikipedia on an effect that i do like to use (Crystalizer, but as i said before i don't think it's something really important to me)
Creative Labs states that the primary function of the Crystalizer is to "restore portions of the sound which were lost during compression". The "compression" that is meant here is not the digital file-size reduction achieved by digital audio data compression technologies like for example mp3. Rather, the idea is to reverse the effects of dynamic range compression, an analog technique that was and is used during the production of most 1990s and newer Audio CDs (with the exception of some classical music recordings) to make them sound louder at the same volume level setting, as it was found that subjectively louder CDs get more airplay and sell better. To achieve this loudness without introducing strong distortion, points in the signal where the volume reaches a maximum are compressed (which means in this case: reduced in volume), then the whole signal is multiplied by a factor so that the maximum volume is reached again. After this, the music as a whole is louder than it was before, but the maximum volume points (mostly transients) are not as pronounced as they were before. Since this whole process is done before the final Audio CD is recorded, its effect is equally present in uncompressed audio files created from such a CD, in lossless compressed audio made from the CD, as well as in lossy compressed audio from that same CD. Transients are typically found in percussive sounds, in plosive consonants of voice recordings, and during the first few milliseconds (the so called attack phase) of non-percussive instrument sounds. All these tend to be somewhat muffled by dynamic range compression.
To undo this effect, the Crystalizer uses a multiband compander (compressor/expander) with dynamically adjusted compression/expansion. Its main function is to detect transients and to increase their relative volume level. As a consequence of enabling the Crystalizer, the signal is altered, and whether the result improves upon the input audio is purely a matter of perception and can depend on the type of audio being played.

Disable onboard sound

How do I disable onboard sound on a KT4 Ultra? I have Bouston Acoustic (sold by gateway) speakers that require Direct Digital Output to work and it does not seem to be supported by c-media. So I have to install my soundblaster Live! Can anyone help me either disable on-board sound or get the on-board to support Direct Digital output?
Thanks

you can uninstall the drivers for the onborad sound. To reinstall your sound blaster remove it from Device Manager and restart your machine and follow the makers instructions, either point the system to the drivers or use the installer, which ever they recommend.

No stereo sound from I/O

Hey all! I have an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro card, and for some reason I cannot get any stereo sound (only mono) from the I/O hub, both through the headphone out, as well as through the headphone out on a MIDI controller plugged into the hub via firewire.
5. Surround Sound works in all 5 speakers connected through the analog miniplugs on the card, and stereo sound works through the headphones when they are plugged directly into the speakers via a headphone out there.
Any suggestions as to how to get stereo sound to work from the I/O hub?Message Edited by freechus9 on 07-30-200707:00 PM

anyone?
