Sound only coming from left speaker.

I recorded live music last night from a soundboard in a music hall. The new belkin tunetalk pro on my ipod g5 worked really well and was easy to use. Problem is I did not have the right kinda hookups. I need two 1/4 plugs that converted to one 1/8 mini jack. so i had one 1/4 to 1/8 mini and they gave me a great sounding feed but it's only on the left as in the left ear. i downloaded to to itunes. actually it did it as soon as i pluged the ipod in. i did nothing. the sound guys said i should be able to split to right and left with something like garageband software. i impoted into GB and now i still have the great sound coming out of my left speaker and nothing on the right unless i choose mono 1 or mono 2.
my question is how do i split this and make the recording come out of both speakers? the file in garageband has 2 wave zigzag lines. one on top of the other. i'm sure there's a way but so far i've not found an easy fix on apple garageband support groups but i've not asked either. tonight i will have the right connections so will see how well a rock show records. last nights was an acoustic show with a guitar and vocal mic

You can't really make a stereo file from a mono recording.
Stereo needs two mic/2 channels in the recording phase. The best you can do is set the track to mono so it comes from both speakers, or create fake stereo by using two tracks and offsetting one of them slightly and panning each track to the side some. It won't be stereo, there will be no center, just Left and right

  • Sound only coming from one speaker on Macbook Pro Retina

    I recently discovered, due to the lack of saxaphone solo's while listening to DMB, that one side of my speakers doesn't work. No sound comes from the right speaker, resulting in loss basically half of a song. The left side works fine, but zero sound comes from the right. Suggestions?

  • Sound only coming from one speaker

    My son had an iPod Touch 4.  One day, one channel stopped working.  I hooked his earbuds up to my iPhone and both speakers worked.  We hooked different earbuds up to his iPod Touch 4 and  only one speaker played so we figured the iPod jack had gone bad. 
    Today, he won a brand new iPod Touch 5 from a contest at our church.  He sets everything up, syncs up with iCloud and only one speaker is working.  This is using the brand new earbuds that came with the iPod Touch 5.  I call Target, they say to come in to exchange it.  We return the iTouch 5 and get another brand new one.
    On the way home, he begins to setup the iTouch 5 and when he slid the unlock slider, he heard the "click" in both earbuds so we thought everything was great.  We get home, he syncs up with iCloud and low and behold, only one earbud is working.  I plug my Klipsch earbuds into the new iTouch 5 and only one earbud is working.
    What in the heck is going on?  Apparently this has nothing to do with his device, but something within iCloud or iTunes?  Even stranger thing is it only plays one speaker even with Youtube, Video Chat and Netflix. 
    I can "barely" hear music coming out of the speaker that is not working.  It's almost like the audio is panned or faded to one channel.
    Any suggestions?  What would cause one audio channel to stop working when he syncs up to his account?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    You are pushing the headphones all the way in, or you have a case that is preventing you from doing so. The plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Touch.

  • Creative I-Trigue L3800 Sound Only Coming From Subwoofer

    Hey all.
    Just wondering if anyone has any ideas as to why the sound is only coming through the subwoofer on a set of these speakers I have been using.
    Checked so far:
    Audio Cable connecting PC to Speaker system.
    Sound settings in Windows 7 (balance etc).
    Unplugged all speakers/control thingy etc and plugged back in.
    I am certain the problem is somewhere inside the subwoofer itself as I was watching something the night before they seemed to 'die'. I literally turned the PC back on this morning to watch something and the sound is now only coming from the subwoofer. I've taken the PCB out of the subwoofer to look for any obvious signs of damage but I'm not an electrician or a speaker expert. The only thing I can see is a slow-blow fuse which looks fine, and I'm guessing that if this were the culprit there would be no sound whatsoever.
    Any ideas? Obviously these are an old set of speakers but if there are any diagnostics I can do to perhaps find the cause and fix it, any help would be greatly appreciated as I currently have no decent device to play sound through.
    Thanks in advance.

    mattbell_5,
    Have you try using headphone on the laptop headphone jack and make sure that's working. If possible try plugging the speaker to another audio device like a MP3 player headphone jack and see whether the speaker is working properly.

  • Sound only playing from left

    I thought my earbuds were broken because no sound was coming from the right side -- but now I realize that no sound comes from one of the speakers on my iphone 4 itself, either -- any advice on how to fix this?

    The earbuds being busted is quite possible. I tried my Sony Ericcson X10's set of speaker earphones with my iPhone 4 when I upgraded. The things were decent with calls, but wouldn't play the main voice on iPod songs, just the background music. I changed to another set of speaker earphones and it worked fine.

  • 5.1 Surround Sound only outputting from one speaker on macbook

    I have connected my old LG LH T360SE home cinema system to my white 13" macbook (late 2007) from the headphone jack via an audio Y cable into the RCA audio input on the back of the home cinema system. Unfortunately when playing movies via Plex, VLC or any other media player the sound only outputs through the front left speaker and sub-woofer. I checked that the other speakers are connected by perfoming a connection test in the product's setup and there is some background noise if you put your ear up against them. The 5 speakers work fine when playing a DVD on the integrated DVD player. Is there any settings on the macbook I need to change to make use of the full 5.1 surround sound?
    Thanks

    You'll need to use an optical cable to get 5.1 surround. So you'll also need a little optical->mini-optical converter (which allows you to plug it into the 3.5mm jack).

  • Airport only plays from left speaker

    Just got the Airport Express to hook up to me receiver so i can play music wirelessly from my iphone 5.  I hooked it up the same way i used to hook up my phone to the receiver and its only playing out of the left speakers.  Why?  When i hook up my phone it plays out of all the speakers.  I also tried hooking the iphones headphones into the airport and it only plays out of one speaker.  For $100 i figured it would play out of all the speakers.

    To Start with, check in sound balance...to do that...
    Go to control panel -> Sound -> Double Click on Speakers -> Levels -> Balance...

  • No sound from left speaker headphone out

    Suddenly no sound coming from left speaker through headphone output only. Records in stereo plays in stereo but no sound on left. Tried all the usual suspects ....no luck.  Any suggestions

    Nowhere near enough information to go on, really. If this is a switched socket and the speaker works when it's not connected, then there's either a socket fault or a headphone fault.  Try it with another pair of headphones and see if it still happens. If it doesn't, you have faulty headphones. If it does, then you have some sort of a wiring or socket fault.

  • Mono audio playing from left speaker only

    For websites who have mono recorded (single channel) podcasts, audio in firefox will only play from left speaker instead of picking center channel.
    If audio is downloaded and played on seprate dedicated player it defaults to center or if same site is played in IE also defaults to center.
    Stereo recorded podcasts have no issue.

    I assume that not a Flash player is used in this case, but that this is an issue with the (built-in) HTML5 media player and the audio tag is used.
    Is that correct?
    The Flash player should show the Flash context menu if you right-click the player area.

  • Inspire 5200 5.1 sound from both R & L rear speakers coming from left rear speaker only

    I have done a complete sound system check, every thing check out good. From the rear speakers I am only getting sound from left rear. When i do a speaker check, when right rear speaker lites, sound comes from left rear. when left rear speaker lites sound also comes from left rear speaker.

    creek,
    You may have to check with your sound card manufacturer for special setting to upmix the Stereo to the rest of the speaker.
    If you are using Creative 5.1 sound card, you can refer to the link for the CMSS upmix feature.

  • I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  The head phones work though.  I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled.  Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

    I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker.  There is sound when we use the headphones.  Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
    It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
    Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device.  Who h has not helped.
    HELP!!!!!!!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
