Losing sound on the right channel or sound level is extremely low

This started happening when I got my 5. speaker system ( Logitech Z-5500 ) sometimes I would lose all sound from the right channel ( both front and rear and sometimes including center ) and sometimes the volume is at an extremely low level even if the sound card output is at 00% now fixing this is either a reboot or a change of audio mode Game to Ent ( vice versa ) Is creative working on a permanent fix for this one ? Im using X-Fi Extreme Music and Windows 7 64bit 8GB of ram

Power Mac G5 Audio is outputting only the right channel

I have an audio problem with my PowerPc Audio card, I presume. It is only outputting the right channel. I have a set of computer speakers and when I go into System Preferences and move the balance slider, there is only sound coming from the right channel. Absolutely nothing from the left.
I found this problem when editing in FCP and needing to do a split track with VO on channel 1 and Nats and music on channel 2. I could see the meters showing the audio output from channel 1 but no sound coming through the Mac's left channel output.
Also, I have a DeckLink extreme card in my system and when I test the L-R channel output I get the same problem. I do not know if the decklink is somehow using the Mac audio card for help with its output. I would think that it is using its own hardware for generating the audio output from the card.
Hardware issue? Time for a Mac Genius repair? Don't know if there is any workarounds or fixes before I go that route. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Doug

No I didn't but I run my Mac's output into an analog mixer and then out to my speakers.
When outputting through channel 2 only, both speakers work, yet when I pan to channel 1 the sound drops out. As I pan from full channel 2, where both speakers are up full, you can hear the sound fade out.
Also, I got the Deck Link card to work through my mixer. The L and R channels are outputting through separate inputs in the mixer and work independently and correctly. I even changed out the mini stereo cable just in case and still no left channel out of the Mac.
Very weird! I've even repaired and defragged my system disk in case it is some sort of corrupted code. Just grasping at straws before I take it to a Mac Genius.
Thanks for writing. I appreciate any and all suggestions.

Why is the entire song is in the right channel?!

I thought my headphones were broken!
In a only single file in GarageBand, the entire song is in the right channel. All of the tracks but 2 are software instruments that I recorded from a MIDI keyboard. The other 2 are loops from the library. Every track is panned at 0 - left & right. I checked the master track and there's no pan option. If I select a new software instrument for recording it's only in the right channel.
If I open a completely new file and do the same thing, it's panned normally, in both left and right. Everything else on the computer is in stereo - itunes, the duck when I change the volume, you name it. Just this one file - NOTHING in the left. If I pan anything to the left, it can't be heard.
I tried saving the song as a new file - same thing. I created a new song - and the sound is fine - stereo.
Is my song file corrupt? Is there something I can try? Am I going mad?

could be, but it's hard to tell from here

yes.
i think you probably have mouse that can scroll (magic mouse, etc). there is an invisible pan knob on the master track, if you place the cursor to the right of the popUp menu for the Master Volume, Pitch, etc, and scroll your mouse, you'll see numbers appear describing which way the Master track is being panned.

Using the Sony CX550VE to import 1080p-Files the right channel it louder then the left channel. Using iMovie everything is fine. Do you know this problem?

FinalCutProx 10.03 (test version): Using the Sony CX550VE to import 1080p-Files the right channel is louder then the left channel. Using iMovie everything is fine, both channels are leveled correctly. Do you know this problem?

Thanks Tom, that did the trick. Appreciate your help and love your DVD and style. Cheers.

My external audio recording device only records to the right channel. How do I send the sound in the right channel thru the left one in Final Cut to get a full stereo sound?

My external audio recording device only records to the right channel. How do I duplicate the sound in the right channel and run it to the left one in Final Cut to get full stereo sound?
I've already copied and pasted the right channel (A2) onto the left channel (A1) but that just doubled the volume on the right channel.
For instance, when I listen to my audio with headphones it only comes thru the right one. How do I make it so that it comes thru both headphones?

Stereo is something else. It is a sound field where the individual elements are located through varying the amount of electrical energy for each element delivered to each channel.
What you have is a mono source that should be panned to center. This will equally divide the signal so it will be delivered out both the L & R channels.
Load the original clip to the VIEWER and set the PAN to 0 (zero). Delete any duplicates. They are unnecessary.

I am getting audio from the right channel only my iPad and it is distorted with static. How can I resolve this problem?

How do I adjust the audio output of my iPad? There is sound only from the right channel and it is distorted with static.

There is no adjustment as the iPad 2 speaker is on the right side only.

EQ in the right channel only

Hello
Yesterday I had my 4 year old son as assistent.
Using Behringer 2442.
After the session I noticed that he had raised
the EQ mid to +6dB and the Freq stood in position 800 hz on the mixer.
It was 2 monotracks panned L & R. It was only for right channel that he EQed.
The left channel is neutral. Is there any way to restore this recording
in Logic?
with regards Nygade 48

Luckily for you the "Pan" control in Logic's mixer is actually a "Balance" control when using stereo tracks, which I am guessing you're using.
So if you simply make a new stereo channel in the arrangement, and make a copy of the offending region onto it (so there are two side identical regions). Then in the mixer pan the original left and the new duplicate right, you should hear exactly what you were hearing before making the duplicate, but now you can apply an EQ to one of the channels and it will only affect the left or right channel independently.
Next time check your employee's qualifications!

Why am I losing the right side of my frames?

I am working with video originally shot on handled camer with an SD card that has then been copied to a DVD. The VOB files are 720x480 and 29FPS. When I add the media I have tried several project pre-set settings, however all of them are cutting off the right side of the frame of the film and I need that for my clips and to make my movie. How do I get the entire frame to be imported and available?

A.T. Sorry about that, I was including them in the emails but didn't realize they weren't posting. Here are the steps I followed and the screenshots.
Changed settings to DV Standard
Checked “Force selected Project Setting on this project” and clicked OK
Went to add media and chose a file from the disk.
Below is how it appears on the monitor. As you can see, the right side is cut off as it should have the full date (To be clear, it is not just the date I am interested in, but the rest of that frame.
I confirmed that the magnification “Fit” was checked and went to Edit Preferences and there is a check next to default scale to frame size and none of that fixed the issue.

How can I print emails without losing the right side of message Windows Vista 6.0 Photosmart C6830

When I print email messages, right side of message lines do not print (run out of space) on a Photosmart C6830 using Windows Vista Home Version 6.0. Have tried highlighting message to print & choosing (selection) in print window - does not solve problem.

The print spooler is a windows service and is required to print. I would hazard a guess you can not print with any application.
What I am saying is I think your windows instalation has a problem, not Thunderbird.

Problem with the right and left Channel

Hey Guys,
i bought a few days ago the X-Fi Titanium PCIe Card. Now my problem:?
After i installed the drivers i noticed that i can hear the sounds of the left speaker also in the right speaker of my Headphone (Sennheiser PC60). I made a channel test and here the same. The guy sais "Left Channel" and i hear it on both speakers. The same with the right channel.
I made a clean restart and uninstalled all Drivers and Applications and reinstalled them: -> Same problem
I made a clean Windows installation (Vista x64): -> Same problem
i tried the Daniel_K-Driver: -> Same problem
Have someone an idea to solve that problem?
greets

When Soundbooth was first developed, it had a few extra things than what were not available in Audition. However, Audition remained the more high end sound editing tool. Soundbooth was locked to a multiple channel editing approach. In Audition, single editing is easy - you simply click the L or R at the right end of the sound channel to lock it and then you can edit the other channel only.
Soundbooth has been discontinued and Audition now has taken its place from CS6 to the Creative Cloud.
The above is some background info. To your current situation, you can use a workaround like:
* Export your audio file to separate channels by File > Export > Channels to mono files.
You will get 2 files with _L and _R suffix.
You can then edit them separately. You can go from Mono to Stereo by the following step.
Or
* Choose - Edit > Insert > Channels into New Multitrack file.
That will separate the Left and Right Channels and add them to a new multitrack file.
You can then click the Edit link at the top right of the channel to edit it.
You can then save that file as a new audio file.

I would like to transfer old reel-to-reel tapes to an iMac. There are different recordings on the left and right channel of the tapes. When I connect the tape deck to the Mac, I get one recording on the left, the other on the right speaker. What to do?

I was about to transfer some music from a reel-to-reel machione to my Mac. There are different sound recordings on the left and right channels. When I connect with RCA cables and Y-connector, I hear one recording from the left speaker, another from the right side. How do I record only one side, but hear it from both speakers?

You don't say what end, or connectors are plugged into what. I'm assuming the RCA connectors are on the reel-to-reel end. Since the tape has two different mono recordings, one on each track, you of course only want one at a time during playback. Otherwise, the Mac (or any recording setup) can only treat it as a stereo recording with the standard Left-Right tracks.
1) There are multiple ways to connect different types of cables to get a mono signal down to a stereo output at the Mac. Here's one way.
2) Plug any RCA cable (single cable or stereo) into only the right or left RCA output of the reel-to-reel.
3) On the other end of the RCA cable, plug in an adapter like this. That will feed the single RCA output into a mono 1/8" plug.
4) Then plug that adapter into this. That turns the 1/8" mono signal into a "stereo" output with the same single track audio being fed to the Mac on both the left and right channels.
5) Record either the left or right output of the reel-to-reel. Rewind the tape and switch the RCA connector on the reel-to-reel to the right channel (if you started with the left) and record that mono signal as stereo.
Or, avoid all of this hardware mumbo-jumbo in the first place and do this:
1) Record the audio just the way you have it. Two different recordings, one on each channel.
2) Copy the audio recording to a new name and open it in your editor.
3) Highlight the left track and copy/paste it into the right track. Presto! Mono recording of the left track on both channels. Save the recording.
4) Repeat, only copy/pasting the right track into the left track and save the second recording.

Audio Input on the Left Channel is fine, Right Channel, Not So Much...

Okay, so I'm attempting to record some audio into my eMac using it's 3.5mm Line Input Jack, but Sound Studio is telling me that all of the audio is coming out of the left channel.
I checked balance, it's a new cable that works fine otherwise, the device I'm recording from sounds fine on headphones.
Any suggestions?

Hmm. I think someone more technically-inclined with audio could help you out here. I tried recording audio on my eMac with QuickTime Player (I'm not sure if you need QuickTime Pro to do this, otherwise I would suggest you try the same thing). I have a similar experience as you. The QuickTime A/V window (control-K) informs me that the audio balance is shifted completely to the right channel (rather than left, as you observe in Sound Studio). And there is no way to adjust this, it is also "greyed out". This QuickTime recording is through the built-in microphone on my eMac. Might there exist (pricier) external microphones that are specifically capable of stereo recording? Or perhaps our eMacs aren't capable of stereo recording, at least without hardware modifications. I don't know. Clearly, I'm ignorant about this. Perhaps there is a Discussion going on somewhere else around here that is more Audio-specific?

The right audio channel is no longer heard after effect assignment in the timeline

Sorry, but my English is not so good, but I try to explain the problem:
Once I clip any one assigns an effect in the timeline, works when playing only the left audio channel channel. Once I pull the clip from the timeline into the project window again, then works again the left and the right channel. How do I get the right audio channel in the interface window active again?

When I look at the properties of the file in QuickTime, here's what it shows:
DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, 720 x 480 (640 x 480)
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Left
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 32000 Hz, Unused
Why it's telling me the other 3 channels are unused, I have no idea. They certainly are getting used. The footage was shot in stereo and Final Cut plays it in stereo.
Here's what VLC says about the very same file:
