Keynote Audio only left channel

Has anyone else had this problem and how did you solve it? I am using an M Audio Fastback USB input to record to Keynote and the audio is only recording to the left channel/speaker. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or how to fix this?
Thanks,
Paul

System Properties > Sound
in the output tab, select Fast Track USBand centre the Balance slider
in the input tab, select Fast Track USB and move the volume slider to the far right
Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI setup > M-Audio > Input; set the master to the far right
The front panel controls affect analogue phono out connectors and the headphone jacks for monitoring, they do not control recording.

Arcam rDac plays only left channel. OSX is 10.7.4 and iTunes 10.6.1. Have somebody similar problem ?

I have usb audio dac Arcam rDac and Mac mini 2011. Everythings was working without problem, but propably after upgrade OSX on 10.7.4 and iTunes 10.6.1 Arcam plays only left channel. Have somebody similar problem and sollution ? Thank you very much for your help.

Did you solve your problem?
I have the same rDAC and Macbook pro. And I have sound in both channels, but I have popping and crackling distorted sounds at low frequencies, in left channel. Very very annoying. I have looked at every forum, and it seems like Mac has this problem very often, and there is no viable solution so far.
Like many others, I too am very disappointed with this very expensive computer I bought only 4 months ago.

My MacBook Air headphone jack only left channel works

Builtin speakers are working fine on my MBA 2012, but when I plug any kind of headphone into the jack, only left channel works. If I tune output balance to right, then sound nothing.
I found there are only four metal contacts in the jack, two on each side, then one for ground, the other one for left channel, none for right channel, what about yours?

At last, found it isn't a problem, actually any 3.5mm headphone of standard can work, just plug into the jack fully ( only one mm left ) . enjoy ~~

Imported DV plays only left channel audio

In working with iMovie HD 6, I've imported video from my DV camera and I'm only getting sound from the left channel (I used a lapel mic plugged into the camera while I was recording). Is there a way to mix the left channel audio into stereo, or at least two channel mono so that my movie and subsequent DVD project will play sound in both channels? I'd prefer to run the fix within iMovie, but will consider exporting if necessary. I can't recreate the original interview without a lot of work.

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Yep, you can do it in GarageBand, just setting it to move the mono channel into both channels.
Or you could use the free, downloadable "Audacity", and just select the left channel, then copy it, and paste it into the empty right channel, like this.
However, to use the wonderful "Audacity", you've got to find your original audio in iMovie, then remove it from within its hidden storage, whereas GarageBand just "knows" where to find the audio if you send your movie there, so click on Share and then GarageBand, where you can select the Movie Sound track, and just turn the little 'panning' control, in the Mixer column, to the centre.

Stereo audio in left channel only.

Hi,
I have a strange problem with one of my projects.
I have created a large number of "talking head" videos/projects. I export them to FLV using one of PREs default settings. For just one of these projects I get audio in the left channel only. All other clips are OK.
When I play the clips on the timeline the audio is perfect in both channels. So somewhere in the rendering/output process I loose the right channel.
What am I missing here?
Thanks in advance.

Hi and thanks for all input.
Yes I use a mono mic, but the camera puts the sound on both channels.
When I play the timeline I hear the voice in both channels.
The timeline audio track shows waveforms on both channels.
Here is a pic of the timeline:
The project is corrupt somehow. I just tried creating a new project with the same video files and made a short flv out of it and it comes out OK.
I will try to redo this one which leads me to another question which I will post in another thread if not already answered.
Thanks for your input.

Mic only seems to record / playback audio in LEFT channel/speaker

when i record videos / audio with my phone, online playback only comes from the LEFT speaker.
ie:
http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=427597527682&ref=mf
this has occurred with every video.
anyone else having this?

i'm not talking about on the phone itself.
if i import the audio from something i record, it's only the left channel. not the split mono, as it should be,

Stereo track is only showing audio in left channel in multitrack view

I have an echo Layla 3g soundcard. Whenever I place a mic into the front input and try to record into AA, I can get a stereo recording BUT with audio only on the left channel. However, if I record using the edit view, I can get both channels (L and R) recordings ok (this is from the same mic input from the echo layla. I have selected the correct drivers in the audio hardware set up. Anybody else having this same problem?

With both Edit and Multitrack views, you get options to select what's going to happen in terms of recording behaviour, and they don't have to be set the same way.
With any input, you get options that typically say [01S] (stereo) or [01M] (mono). In Multitrack view,if you select a stereo input, but only plug a mic into one input, then any recording you make will only be on the channel that the input is connected to, and not the other one. If you select a mono input, then all you will do is patch that particular input to a mono recorded channel if you record in mono.
In Edit view it's slightly different. If you select a mono input, but then elect to make a stereo recording, that mono input will be patched across both mono channels.
If you only have one microphone to plug in, there's absolutely no point in making stereo, or dual mono recordings anyway. All you are doing is doubling up on the same information.

Capturing only left channel of audio

Probably not a great combination using Premiere Pro cs3 for about the 3rd or 4th time (after years of 6.5) and using the church's sony camera that I am unfamiliar with - but here goes:
When I play the video back on the camera, the sound is in stereo, however when I capture it, it only plays back and captures the left channel. I didn't have this issue with my own camera, so it may be a camera issue. I can't figure out/find the model of the camera, but it is a Sony HDV running in DV mode. The sound was recorded in 48K stereo. Any thoughts/help is appreciated.

OK.
Start a new Premiere project and use that to test capture again.

Logic Express Presonus Firebox only left channel output in phones

I upgraded from GarageBand. I have a 17" MacBookPro and a Personus Firebox. I configured the AudioMidi Preferences on the Mac to the Firebox for input and output. When I play back a mono track I only hear the left channel in the phones. I am panned to center. In GarageBand when I configure the Mac as the Audio Driver I hear my mono mix in both L and R phones which is what I want.
Also, in Logic Express, I get no sound when I configure the audio out to the Mac. It needs to be routed to the Firebox.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Jonathan

Thanks for the advice. I tried listening to a song from my itunes library, not using Logic and I still heard just one channel. The culprit must be a faulty connection in the Firebox.

CAPTURE AUDIO MIXES LEFT CHANNEL TO MONO

Everytime I capture now, or batch, or capture a single logged clip, the stereo audio comes in as mono, using only the left channel. The right channel audio is lost.
I searched the postings, and found this was happening with a lot of people, not just FCP 5.1 HD, but with FCE, too. No resolution or fix as far as I could see.
Anyone know how to correct this major bug? I really need stereo audio!
Thanks,
Norris

After a lot of research, and NO help from calling Apple tech support, I finally determined this (which has to do with HD/1080i/60 only -- I am not sure about NTSC settings):
In the Clip Settings tab, in "Log and Capture" (in HD) there is a little box next to the simulated VU audio levels meters. Click that box. It should toggle on/off two little lines that combine audio channel 1 and audio channel 2. When the little lines are there, that is STEREO. WHen they are not, in my FCP 5, it mixes both tracks to mono from channel 2 (Left).
As for your other question -- yes, you can manually go into the logs and change the settings, and then recapture.
a pain this is, huh? And no written mention of it in any manual.
NOW - as for previewing the audio while logging and capturing? I still cannot do that and have been waiting two (2) weeks for a reply from an Apple tech support guy who was supposed to be researching this for me.

Soundcheck lowers audio in left channel.

So if you have soundcheck on it lowers the audio in the left channel in most tunes. I don't know why it would do this, you'd think it would be a bit more even of a distribution but it's heavy on the left channel. The only reason I have soundcheck on is I have various mp3s from widely different sources, and it can be annoying to be suddenly blast by a particually loud tune, and then barely hear the next one.
Soundcheck is too lopsided for me to use. Any solution besides soundcheck? Would MP3 Rage do the trick?

You can Reset the iPod, by pressing Menu and Center button simutaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, then release it.
If this doesn't work, then the left channel audio electronics is leaking, which mean bringing it in to Apple Genius Bar or a 3rd party service center, if it is out of warranty.

Only left channel records - help please

Here's my set up. I have DVR with a bunch of movies. I am taking S video out and RCA audio out to a Sony DCR TRV 120 camcorder. This camera can act as a DV bridge. I am going out from the Sony via FW into my PB and trying to capture the movie in iMovie 5.0.2.
Everything is working except that I am only getting audio from the left speaker on the computer. I checked the computer in iTunes and sound comes from both speakers. I checked the camera with headphones and there is sound coming into the camera in stereo.
So, it must either be that I am losing the right channel via FW or the DV bridge in the camera.
I have imported many movies from Hi8 tape without a problem. Is there anything I am missing here? Should try to go from the camera's headphone out to the audio in on the PB? Could it be a faulty FW cable?
Is this a problem with iMoive 5.x? I have read this forum all night long and not found anyone else with the problem.
I appreciate all replies.

"..I checked the computer in iTunes and sound comes from both speakers.."
So the computer's audio is OK.
"..I checked the camera with headphones and there is sound coming into the camera in stereo.."
No: probably not real stereo; it may be the same mono audio coming out of both channels (left & right), giving you the same mono audio in both sides of the headphones. The camcorder may be trying to 'do you a favour' ..and, because it's receiving only mono, it's helpfully(?) playing the one incoming channel out of both headset channels.
"..So, it must either be that I am losing the right channel via FW or the DV bridge in the camera.."
No: FireWire is just a digital link which carries exactly what it's being fed - you can't lose a right channel via FireWire: it passes on exactly what it receives ..like handing on a cake to someone: the person who receives it from you wouldn't receive it with half the raisins or the self-raising flour or the egg missing ..it's all handed on complete.
"..the DV bridge in the camera.." Well, as I said; I think you'll find that the camera is receiving only through its left channel, but is providing that left-channel audio out of both sides (..left & right..) of your 'phones.
So the problem is probably at the very source: your "..DVR with a bunch of movies". Either the movies are recorded in mono, and that's leaving your DVR through only the left channel, or - even if the movies really are stereo - only the left-channel is active (..is connected properly, or has sound going through it..) from your DVR to the Sony camcorder.
One way to fix this is to take the output from the left-channel of the DVR, and feed that to both the L & R cables which go to your camcorder. Use a 'splitter/joiner' like this..
..so you'd connect the left audio channel out of the DVR (..should be a white RCA/phono plug..) to the single pin of this adaptor, and then connect the pair of RCA/phono sockets on the back of the adaptor to both the left and the right audio inputs of the camcorder ..you may be using a 3.5mm jack plug to connect the phono plugs into the camcorder's input.
This kind of little mono to both channels adaptor is available by mail order from most electronics stores, e.g: here, and the simplest place to find one in the States is probably Radio Shack, or that kind of store.
It's a common problem..

Dv6000t no speaker audio, low left channel on headphones

HP Pavillion dv6000t, running Vista
Out of the blue, I recently lost speaker audio entirely, and the headphone jack now only gives me the left channel, at a very very low barely audible volume. Bizarre...
I've updated the BIOS, did all the Windows updates, etc., tried 12 different Conexant HD audio drivers, nothing works. No change. I'm thinking hardware issue at this point?
I don't want to trash this laptop but I need the speakers to be working!
Help and new suggestions welcome!

Somebody? Anybody? Not even a hint?

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

IPod touch looses audio in left channel when cable moves

Whenever I slightly nudge any headphone cable up or to the left on my ipod touch the audio on the left channel completely goes silent. I sent my ipod touch in for a replacement, but Apple says they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I specifically told them what the problem is with this iPod and they neglected to listen to the customer's experience with the product, which I might add is still under the manufacturers warranty.
The audio is fine when the headphone cable is completely still, but whenever it moves slightly up or to the left with the tiniest nudge against my pants, finger, etc it looses audio in the left channel. Seeing how Apple fails to satisfy an angry customer, I will now turn to the forum as you are the last hope at saving this piece of garbage. Do you know of any fixes?
I worked hard to get this overpriced piece of junk and it craps out on me after a year. I will never by an Apple product again (seeing also how my other two ipod 5 generation videos both had hardware failure as well).

u have to get a new jack if u do not want it i will take it and get it fixed this has happend to me many times
