sound card output

hacknet · 25th December 2002, 08:39 AM

i have experenced that my sound card does not give me identical signals on both channels... i experience a "bass" coloured sound on the right channel while a "trebble" coloured sound on the left.... is this correct?

i wired it in this manner... tip sleeve > left channel... middle sleeve > right... last sleeve common ground... is this correct?

Hi hacknet

Have you tried playing around with the software settings - for instance the tone control in the Windows mixer? Maybe your card has individual tone control for each channel. Is there any proprietary software sitting around that looks likely to control this sort of feature? Does your hearing or headphones / speakers have an inbalance?

Have a good Christmas!

BTW - The terminology you want for the jack plug is just "tip", "ring", and "sleeve". Otherwise, the wiring configuration you describe is correct.

You might try reversing the tip and ring (Left and Right) connections - this would eliminate any problem with what ever speakers/headphones you are using and isolate the problem to the sound card itself.
