how can I pan the left side to play through both speakers (in mono)?
you can not, you'll need to create a mono version of the left channel:

  • My 13" macbook just stopped working. When you turn it on you get a white screen and hear a repetitive clicking sound on the left side. Is this the hard drive? Any suggestions on replacement drives?

    Thanks

    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • No sound through the left speaker - MBP Retina Early 2013

    Hello guys,
    I am having problems with my macbook pro retina 15" early 2013.
    The problem is that the left speaker does not give the same amount of vollume compared to the right speaker. I have had this macbook for about one and a half month and am very carefull with it, looking for dirt etc.
    Does anyone have an idea what I can do? I don't know if i can go to the apple store here in Holland, because i bought the MBP in Dubai...
    Thanks in advance.

    First check System Preferences>Sound to see where the balance setting is.  If in the center, make an appointment at an Apple store for a diagnosis by the Apple store genius bar technicians.  The Apple warranty is worldwide so it should not be an issue.
    Ciao.

  • Why is does audio only come out of the left speaker when I press the latency button....?!?!

    Hello
    I have a small problem which I hope someone can advise me on ......
    Everytine I press the Latecny button on Logic 9 the audio will stop coming out of the LEFT and RIGHT speakers and only come out of the LEFT speaker ?
    Audio sent out of DAW --------> Mixng Deck  ------> back into Soundcard via SPDIF (digital) on inputs 9/10
    I am sening al my sounds out of the computer to be summed on a mixing decks and then the 2 channles of audio from the deck is coming back into my soundcard as an digital a signle on INPUTS 9/10.
    Can anyone please advise ..........!?!

    Might want to read on what Low Latency mode does + why and when you should use it.
    It's basically only used in realtime monitorinr when recording and/or when recording softsynths.
    By reading the docs you should be able to figure out why the right side is being muted.
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=41%26se ction=2%26tasks=true
    Be sure software monitoring is Off when recording the summed input.

  • Loud static on left speaker when playing music

    Well I have officially tried everything in my power to fix this problem. it is probably not much to some, but nonetheless i am annoyed by this software.
    anytime i wish to play anything on iTunes 7, only LOUD static comes out of the left speaker of my laptop. even when the volume is low. I have been to the quicktime menu to fiddle with the safe mode and frequency. uninstalling and reinstalling is hopeless. and i thought it would fix itself when an iTunes 7 update came out, no.
    also, i am not sure if this is connected, but anytime I wish to play a video on iTunes it closes and i get the send error report message. and when trying to play it in quicktime every video doesnt play and all the titles are "Untitled 2" while it play perfectly in the IE windows.
    i would really like to get matter solved becuz all my music is so well organized on itunes and i dont want to start that process over for a new program.
    best regards

  • Built-In Microphone records audio only from the Left speaker

    I'm not sure if my settings are correctly set up, but whenever I record through Logic, it only picks up sound from the Left Speaker of my MacBook Pro.
    When I try to make noise through the Right Speaker, Logic's sound levels do not respond.
    Any ideas why this is happening? I don't plan on using the built-in Microphone for much longer, but it's all I currently have at this point. Thanks!

    James,
    Again, thanks for the response! I guess what Tokuda said about the mono Mic in the left speaker settles that. I was just confused, because when I used Sound Forge on my Windows partition, it would always pick up sound from both speakers (I think?). I could be wrong on that one too though.
    As for goals, my long term goal is to produce Club/Dance music & some serious Vocal work with Logic. Only thing is I have no basis or ground knowledge of music. For instance, I don't even know how to play the piano, or read music for that matter. Sad, I know...but it is a work in progress. And the only Microphone I use is built-in and my voice overs always sound so bland & one-dimensional. No dynamics or great effects to them, like Tpayne, BSpears, or Madonna vocals. Not sure where I should start, maybe take some basic music theory courses at the local community college, grab an internship at a radio station, & then further my education @ SAE, or Berklee College of Music to learn more advanced editing techniques.
    In the meantime, I have been producing Cheer, Dance, & Aerobic music for the past 5 years. It first started as a hobby, and then transformed into its own little business, and now I do hundreds of mixes for Cheerleaders & All Star programs all over the place! It came so natural to me though...Laying beats over songs, then adding my own creative touch to make it my own. I've been using Acid, which is GREAT for what I do, but isn't going to get me much further than that. That being said, I finally made the decision to move up to Logic, not only to broaden my musical horizons, but to hopefully continue making Cheer music with it as well.
    Since Acid is PC only, I still do work on my desktop PC and have been slowly weaning myself from it. The Logic learning curve is extremely difficult (for me at least) and it's taken a lot of getting used to some things like NOT being able to cross-fade my loops. Very, very annoying. Nonetheless, I know I have to make the switch to Mac if I'm really serious about making it anywhere in this biz.
    Anyway, I can totally email you one of my mixes (if you're interested). I would post a link here, but I gather most of the musicians on here wouldn't really appreciate it as much as I do, haha. Oh and by the way, thanks for taking the time to listen & help me out here. It means a lot man!

  • HT201401 My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing.

    My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing. I can still hear when i make calls too. The the output button only says dock connector or apple tv.

    If the phone has ever gotten wet it may be damaged. It may also have dirt or a bent pin in the dock connector or the earphone jack. Try cleaning the dock connector and inspecting it with a magnifying glass. Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. If you have restored it and that did not fix the problem damage is the most likely cause.

  • Clicking sound of the left part of the Equim A200

    My equim A200 is making weird clicking sounds on the left part of the laptop.
    I have no idea what this could be but every day it seems to get worse then some days it will go all together.
    Could someone please help as I need to know whether to get a new laptop because I have a lot of important stuff saved on this one.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    Clinking noise on the left?
    Hmm. possibly its generated by cooling module or the HDD.
    On the left you can find the cooling modules (cooling grilles) and the HDD bay in my opinion its one of these both parts.
    My HDD clicks from time to time I dont know why but sometimes I can hear such clicking noise. I doubt its a HDD malfunction but I have created the backup of my files on the HDD. This is always advisable and should be done.
    I mean the HDD crash can happens always and in such case a backup can spare many troubles

  • Output sound moves to the left speaker randomly

    Howdy. I have a weird issue. I just installed the new firmware, everything is fine, except i went to test the sound vloume before and after the firmwre upgrade to see if it actually went up. After the upgrade I noticed that my speakers werent aligned properly, so my volume test was pretty much a failure. no big deal. BUT this isnt the first time that the speaker orientation of whatever has migrated to the left on its own. I once thought the headphone jack was broken cause i could hear sound only mostly in the left. and then i noticed a day after that the left speaker was louder too. I went to the sound preferences and seen thatthey were changed. I didnt even know this option existed so it wasnt me who changed it and no one uses my macbook but me.. This was 2 weeks ago. Today I found that the same thing happened again and it was all shifted to the LEFT.
    Anyone know what is going on? I'm not changing it. Is there a shortcut key I dont know about that could be doing this? Is this happening to anyone else? Maybe everyone should check to see if its already like this, maybe thats why its quiet for everyone. It's significantly louder when the speakers are centered, i just dont know why it jumps..

    Since I posted the question I have found my manual and do see what KC is talking about but what is the pinhole next to the earphone jack then?  its not labeled in the manual, as far as I can see.
    It certainly is labeled.
    Open the link I gave.
    It is the "Top microphone"
    The other is the "Bottom Microphone"
    Both are clearly labeled in the manual.

    Hello apple
    I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
    My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
    Who have this problem??

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • When burned to a disk i can only hear most tracks through the left speaker!

    alright, i recently recorded a few songs they consist of a looped drumbeat some software and real instruments. I made sure all were panned to the center, but when i listen to it on a cd or on itunes i can only hear a majority of the parts through the left speaker. the part that comes through the right speaker is the looped drum beat. So if anyone has any suggestions or something i just missed please let me know. thanks.

  • Audio out jack only plays sound in the right speaker.

    Whenever I plug anything (speakers, earphones, etc.) into the Audio Output jack, it only plays sound through the right speaker/earphone. The left speaker/earphone hardly has any sound at all.
    How should I go about fixing this problem?
    It ***** and it's annoying. At first, I thought it was just my earphones but they work perfectly fine with my iPod and other devices.

    HI Chris,
    my daughter has the ipod touch 4th generation and it started only having sound come out of the right speakers in both of my vehicles.  I read also it could be a broken socket causing it.  Do you know about this?  How does one break a socket and how would I repair that?  The person on y*hoo answers said to either send it to apple refurbished unit or replace it.  Replace it?  Really?  It's a 64 GB ipod touch that I won at work with reward points which is the only reason I could afford it.  Looking for better solution like your's above but I'm worried I will have to send it in.  I was looking on my iphone 4 and noticed the volume balance was under Settings>General>Accessibility so I guess it's different on an ipod touch?

  • Only getting sound from the left earphone

    I changed headphones to make sure its not a headphone problem but there is no sound from the right earphone. If I press the connector deeper into the socket then both the earphones work fine, however, I have to keep it pressed down with my finger. Does not work of its own accord. I have had it for 13 months now...any tips anyone?

    I have had a the same problem, only its my left headphone that doesnt seem to work.
    I've tried using dozens of headphones and speakers but the left speaker or headphone never works.
    I have found a cheecky way of getting some sound through however. If you push the ipod jack up at an angle to the roof of the ipod jack hole then you should find that it works. Just press down on the ipod jack (nib bit close to the speaker hole).
    Only problem with this is that you have to hold the ipod to listen to it and it can become quite tiresome. As soon as you let go it will stop sound going through that speaker.
    I did also find out that this happens to quite a few people and most commonly is caused when dirt (e.g. sand) gets into the ipod jack hole.

  • Why does the sound orient towards the left speaker?

    So, occasionally the sound on my computer orients itself greater on the left side of my speakers. I never tell it to change from the centered, balanced position. I notice this change primarily when using Itunes or DVD player. When i notice an odd crackly noise, i check my sound configurations through system preferences, and find to my surprise the sound is favoring the left side of life. Is there a way to lock this configuration to prevent unwanted fluctuations, like in some other setup panels? Or, does anyone have any bright ideas why my computer prefers to play sound from the left?

  • Sony Xperia z1 sound on the left doesn't work

    Hello everybody,
    I have a problem with my sony xperia z1.
    On the left side the sound doesn't work anymore.
    I don't know if I put it out accidentally or if there's something broken.
    It is only with headphones.
    The right side just gives normal sound but the left side is completely shut off.
    If I just listen on the speaker there is no problem.
    Please help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Check if there is something in the 3.5 mm input,some dirt or something.If that is not the problem,you might need new headphones.
