Output to home stereo - no right channel

I am trying to connect the SB Audigy2 Platinum to my two channel homestereo. I connected the 1/8 digital cable via an rca adapter, going into corresponding
L+R RCA inputs on my amplifier.When trying to calibrate the speakers I hear the right channel in bothe speakers
The same effect when I listen to my stereo headphones connected to my amplifier.When my headphones are plugged directly into the external I/O module, theheadphones sound just fine. I have checked to make sure that the 1/8"" jack is plugged into output onthe soundcard, and is in all the way. I have also switched the polarity of my L+R rca audio jacks going into theinputs on my amplifier, works the same either way. I have tried all available input pairs on my amplifierI have checked the polarity of the audio cable from my speaker outputs on myamplifier to the speakers. I have turned all DSP's off on my amplifier and am bypassing surround soundand Dolby. I am stumped.Also, shouldn't I be able to use the 1/8" digital out on the back of the I/Omodule to go to my home stereo instead of the 1/8" out on the soundcarditself?Thank you,

Hi...I am new to this whole posting thing, but have been an avid reader for awhile. I too am having difficulties with the whole iphone to stereo concept. I bought the Belkin cord from the Apple store, but still seem to be unable to get any music to come out of my stereo. So, what could I be doing wrong? I have connected cord from both the iphone and from cradle's line out jack, and then connect the other end to stereo through the headphone jack. The headphone jack is the ONLY port on the stereo that seems to fit the belkin. No input jacks to be found. Do I need to do like iTrip radio stations in the iPhone, or did I just waste money on this cord? Please help. I am so frustrated. All I want to do is enjoy my music OUT LOUD! Thanks.

Iphone output to home stereo

I am not able to output from my iphone to my home stereo via output jack, but was able to do so with a Sony mp3 player. Does Iphone require apple products to output to, such as ipod stuff?

I'm using GarageBand 10.0.1. Do the built-in drum tracks only come in mono format, or is it possible to make them true stereo (i.e. Left and Right channels outputing different signals, to sound like the kit has been panned across the stereo field)?

All the Drum Kits available for GarageBand are mixed in stereo.
Logic provides the same 18 Drum Kits also as "Producer Kits", which are multi-track outputs,. Each Drum Kit Piece (Kick, Snare, HH, etc) and also room mice and overheads are routed to individual channel strips.
Here is a screenshot of one Drum Kit in Logic Pro X with individual Channels Strips. Each Channel Strip can be loaded with individual effects (compressor) and adduced with individual sends, etc.
What that means is that all the Drummers are professionally recorded and sampled with individual mics. The Stereo Drums Kits are just "stereo mix-downs" for easier handling and less CPU demand. I explain all the details about the Drummer ecosystem in my graphically enhanced manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
Hope that helps

Hookup to analog stereo system - no right channel output

I am using the 1/8" stereo to RCA adapter audio cable to hookup my Audigy 2 Platinum to a Sony amplifier/receiver to play through my Bose 30 speakers.
I get stereo seperation when I play a cassette through this same amplifier and I have tried the tape input for the soundcard, but still get no right channel, but hear the left channel in both speakers.
I hear the stereo signal fine when listening through headphones plugged into the i/o module. Something is amiss at the soundcard's # output, I think. I have tried multiple adapter cables and rca cables. I have also tried all available inputs on my amplifier and all available outputs on the soundcard and i/o module.
It seems to be the soundcard. What do you think?

The amp is only receiving the left channel which is the default mono channel. I assume the amp is not switched to play mono and is doing this automatically by default. I do not know what inches are but I assume you mean a 3.5mm connector to RCA converter. 3.5mm connectors are available in both mono and stereo, which do you have?
Are you getting any signal from the right channel from the soundcard, you can check this by unplugging the left (white) RCA cable while leaving the right plugged in and listen for sound.

Audio input issue - No stereo... Right channel only.

Hi
First to thank you for taking the time to read and consider this if you do - any help in this would be hugely appreciated
Ok - I'll try to make this as concise as poss but it needs some explanation:
I'm home-recording hobbyist musician. One of the things I would very much like to use the iMac for is to back up old four-track tape recordings, recording them as wav or mp3 as the case maybe and saving them to my hdd. Easy right? Apparently not, so far... let me explain:
On the tape recorder there is only an RCA stereo out (red and white, left and right). The very first thing I did when I got the iMac was download Audacity (the audio software), hooked up a stereo lead to the RCA outs on the tape recorder, and ran it into the line-in port on the iMac, using the 1/8" jack.
Now, sound came in, but only the right channel. The left channel was completely dead (ie when I panned the audio to the left, or if there was a sound in the mix that was only in the left channel, it was absent).
Since then I've bought Logic Pro and and an audio interface and this presents the EXACT same problem... Nothing in the left channel. (please note, I am aware you can "fake" stereo by setting a channel-strip to "mono" so that there is sound on both sides, but get this - it only splits the right channel in two - so you still don't have the left channel or genuine stereo signal frustratingly)
It should be noted that stereo sound is not a general problem on the system. Stereo output is perfect (ie on itunes, cds, online etc - or if I'm using softsynths in Logic for instance) it is solely an AUDIO INPUT issue.
Needless to say I've explored all options in sys prefs to no avail.
It should also be noted that I have also tested the actual output of the tape recorder and used the same leads to line into a home stereo system no problems.
Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or how this could be resolved? I am even open to suggestions for peripheral equipment, sofware additions etc - any questions at all, just ask.
Thanks again, any input would be welcome.
EDIT: I also posted this in the general iMac forum. Posting here for people w specific audio knowledge thanks!

Pancenter, thanks once again.
Sorry about delay replying - have had an internet outage here just to add to my woes haha.
Anyway, the good news is that I think I've cracked it:
After updating the OS per your suggestion, uninstalling both Audacity and the m-audio (profire 610), and lastly resetting defaults on sys audio midi prefs I was still experiencing this problem - just on a line-in to Garageband. Pure frustration.
So eventually I just elected (in lieu of chucking the hardware out the nearest window lol) to do a cold re-install of the OS (erase and install option, backup hdd done). As I bought the iMac in January the OS is 10.5.5 I think.
After install, before doing anything else at all, I opened Garageband, set up an audio track and set input prefs to Line in Stereo 1/2 etc, and hooked up the tape unit via rca and the line-in port. The result? Perfect 2-channel stereo.
My personal theory is that the problem was created by the audio interface installation - an m-audio "profire 610" - Tho Audio interfaces are a frickin minefield anyway between Macs and PCS, chipset compatabilities, dodgy beta drivers, worthless gadget-hawking etc etc... I also realised that while my first original attempt was on Audacity I had already installed the profire unit just immediately before (but didn't use it). I doubt it was Logic which is designed specifically for the mac - I feel this theory might be proven when I reinstall these.
So there you go - get the Audio interface right it seems.. And I've got stereo audio.
Thanks for your help and input Pancenter - much obliged.
Peace.

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.

Right channel output is very weak through headphones

I use my iPod touch when I workout. I have a pair of Bose headphones connected and I have noticed over the past few days that the right channel output when playing songs on the iPod is extremely weak.

- If it works with other headphones the try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. Also try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack
- Next Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem.
- Reset. Nothing was lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If still problem that points to a problem with the headophone jack.

RMBP 15" right channel output not working properly

Hello,
I recently purchased a Retina Macbook Pro 15" no more than 3 months ago.
Today I just noticed that whenever I connect my headphones I can hear the left channel clearly but the right channel is a lower volume and distorted.
at first I thought it was the headphones, but have tried various ones and it doesn't seem to be that.
Also, output from the internal speakers sounds fine, same level on both channels and clear
Has anybody had this problem?
Thanks,
moih

Already tried zapping the PRAM, to no success...
I'll definitely bring it to a Genius bar since it also has a problem i didn't disclose here where the USB on the left hand side intermmitently connects and disconnects whenever i connect my iDevice...
Thanks anyways

Macbook headphone output, right channel weaker than left.....

I use my macbook connected to my stereo amplifier using a mini jack to stereo connector. I have started to notice isses though. It seems that after a couple of minets of working fine the volume of the right channel will suddenly reduce for no aparant reason. I have tested my amplifier/speakers/cables and have therefore come to the conclution that the issue is with tha macbook its self. Unpluging the cable from the headphone socket and then pluging it in again seems to resolve the issue for a couple of minets before the right channel once again loses volume...........
Any ideas?
so far i have tried playing around with the sound settings but they are so few and far between that i can see no resolution other than to return the macbook to apple to be fixed.
Thanks alot

If you're absolutely certain your cables, wires, speakers and everything else is 100% then yes, return it. You might try blowing a little into the headphone jack in the event you collected a bit of debris that is causing the problem.

Very weak Right Channel output

Looks like this is a growing hardware defect on the iPod Classics. This leaves me wondering how long Apple will ignore this before resolving the problem or do their sales level leave them unmotivated to even discuss it.
I have the 160GB model, about 15 months old. The right channel has gone VERY weak.
I am using the standard factory headset which works fine in any other device so the headset is ruled out.
The headset jack in the iPod is clean and makes good contract with the headset and persists when connected via the base connector (see below), so the headset jack is ruled out.
I can connect the iPod to a portable docking port that connects to the iPod via the connector at the base of the headset. The right channel is also weak when playing music out the portable dock speakers. So, this rules out all connectors.
Next, I tried changing the Equalizer settings across all personalities (Rock, Jazz, etc) with no change in the problem.
Next, I tried doing a master reset (Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons simultaneously until the Apple/iPod logo appears). No joy. Problem
Finally, the Factory Reset was tried using iTunes (which only seems to erase the hard disk and reload all my music).
None of this has worked. Either there was a bad firmware update from Apple, which they will never admit to by policy obviously, or there is a hardware defect in the latest design of the iPod Classic. There are far too many people posting this problem on the net for this to be an isolated case.
Has anyone found a resolution to this problem (WITHOUT armchair guessing)?
Thanks.

Left and right channels of stereo sound coming only from left spea

The title says it all. I can't figure out what's wrong. I checked all the settings I can think of, but nothing seems out of place. It's not the right channel cutting out, but both channels coming from the left speaker (I used the speaker test feature to confirm this). This just happened out of nowhere when I booted up my pc. Any idea what's wrong?
*Oh, and this is an Audigy 2 (plain version).Message Edited by Geise on 2-3-2005 : PM

Did you ever fix this problem? I have the exact same thing happening to my sound.
All the sound comes from the left in stereo sound. I plugged the green stereo analog speakers into the other pin the blackone for 4. setting on my SBLi've24 allthe others play fron t left back left and back right but the front right is so soft like a whisper.
So the speakers work. Im running a Xp mediaedition system. It happened after an apparent sound conflict that made an electronic popping sound which got progressi'vely worse until i figured out how to reset the car d in the Bios level. I have done evrything but reformat the hard dri've All tests say the hardware is working but still no front right channel. Help please

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.

Splitting left and right channel

I need to split the left and right channels of the audio output. I have a stereo cable from my new HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC, running Windows 7 Home Premium, to an amp that takes the channels separately. The amp allows me to control the volume for the channels separately. This does not work on my new laptop. I get both channels on both ends of the cable.
I have an older HP G60 Notebook PC, running Windows 7 Home Premium, and the same cable and same amp does just what I need.
Is there a way to configure the audio out port in my new PC so it works like the audio out port on my old PC?

Hello - what is the best way to swap left and right channels on a master?
If I use the direction mixer and reverse the phase is that effectively what's

No, not at all. Reversing the phase will not swap anything, it'll just reverse the phase.
Use the Gain plugins' Swap button for that. The Gain plugin is under {inserts}>Utility>Gain

Ipod through home stereo

I have connected my iPod to my home stereo as noted, with 3.5 mini jack to RCA to the input, but the sound is very low and poor. I have the volume also listed as noted.
Is anyone using any special type of cable or am I missing something. I've tried it on two different receivers and still coming up with the same results.

I used a non iPod cable Mini 3.5 jack on one side and two RCA plugs on the other...
Jack has three posts, so you should be using a connector with three lines/RCA plugs. However, you only plug in the two audio lines to your amplifier/receiver.
Do you mean that if I will buy the iPod video cable it does not work to listen music in home stereo ?
No. I'm saying that if you use a non-Apple cable the line designated as video is actually the right channel audio and the line designated as right channel audio is actually the video output. Apple pulled a little "sneaky" here.

Can the Mac Mini G4 be connected to a home stereo?

Hi,
I've been trying for days to find the right cable which will allow me to connect my G4 Mac Mini's headphone out port to either an optical or digital coax input on my home stereo.
If anyone has had any success with this, please let us know!

Doug, the G4 mini does not have optical/digital output capabilities. You can get a mini-plug to toslink adapter, as I have on my intel mini going to my stereo's optical input, but I do not believe it will work since the output port is not digital/optical.
As you saw in the other thread on PPC mini and audio output
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=935713&tstart=30
Your options are limited when going from analog output to digital/optical input.
If you do not have any composite/RCA type inputs available (red and white cable) perhaps a switchbox would suffice. There are many on the market, some with a remote if you do not wish to get up and change the input source to the box.
Perhaps going to a site like http://macaudiopro.digitalmedianet.com/ can give you some ideas/solutions to your dilemma.
As for cables, while Amazon is always a source with a number of options available, cablesforless.com, cables4sure.com cablestogo.com etc. are all online wholesalers/retailers of audio and video cables. If you are looking for quality vs. price you will need to shop around a bit, as the different options/style cables can get confusing. Especially for someone like me who just wants to plug the **** thing in!
