I've got an odd sound problem on my PC (SUSE 9.1, KDE). The problem is that I only seem to get the right-hand sound channel through my speakers or headphones. It's not the hardware, because booting into Windows gives me full sound. The mixer settings show no balance skew. So, can anyone suggest why I might have this problem and how to fix it?

I've almost always found this to be a mixer problem here. Have you tried AlsaMixerGui and carefully gone over all the settings? I find it more reliable than Kamix or others because it lists all of the options for my sound card - Turtle Beach Santa Cruz. Once you've found the problem and corrected it remember to go into Control Center, Sound & Multimedia, Mixer, Save Current Volumes. This should preserve your settings for the next reboot, logout/in, etc. Works for me anyway. Stan

Wonderful! AlsaMixerGui did indeed show that the ADC and DAC volumes were set to zero for the left channel for some odd reason. Matching the volumes and saving via the control center has given me matched sound :-) Many thanks!
