| 274303 | 2004-09-21 04:58:00 | Am not at all a audio techo and need some help with this one please! Have used a RCA to 3.5mm cable to connect the L-R audio from my Sky decoder to the PC AC97-Line in. Have tested the input line to the PC on another device and both L-R appear to be balanced. However the audio is not balanced in the PC speakers - have tried all the volume settings and both speakers appear to test fine using the AC97 Audio configeration. Downloaded and reinstalled Realtek AC’97 v 4.96. Is this a hardware or software problem? Int2.8 Mhz MB-Gig 8IK1100, G.Card-L.TEK A180 TDH My VIVO GeForce 4 MX440-8X 64MB, Ram 400 DDR 2 x 512Mb,HD1-80 Gb OS etc.HD 2 - W Dig.250Gb x 7200. XP Pro Many thanks |

Assuming it is a standard stereo signal, have you looked at the settings in control panel? There are six playback balance controls in there for various inputs so that could be the problem. Click on audio >volume to see them. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 274306 | 2004-09-21 06:06:00 | If you swap the RCA plugs over, do the channel volume issues swap sides? Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 274307 | 2004-09-21 21:46:00 | Have tried swapping the RCA leads but still on audio out of the one PC speaker - should I look at buying a new sound card? Appreciate the help |

| 274308 | 2004-09-21 22:20:00 | check your lead. is it a stereo 3.5 connector ?? any shorts or breaks in the cable? | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 274309 | 2004-09-21 23:16:00 | Yep have checked all that. Thought might buy a USB Creative SoundBlaster - would that handle the like of Skype? Thanks |

| 274310 | 2004-09-21 23:24:00 | I assume you have balanced output if you play a CD or use other audio sources? If so, can you try an alternative input such as microphone instead of line in? You might have to back the controls back a bit to stop overloading but it might bypass your problem. Eliminate as much as you can before splashing out on the new sound card. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 274311 | 2004-09-21 23:47:00 | Yes appears balanced when playing a CD. Think will get that USB unit as have been having ongoing audio probs for a while. Does anyone have a cunning plan for sneaking courier deliveries past the wife?! Thanks for the help |
