This is more technical than astral, but during the setup, I can't get it to isolate the left and right ear sounds. It plays in both. I can have one earbud in an ear, and hear both "left" and "right." What's up with this? I kind of fiddled around with the harware, but I'm not sure I did anything.

Could someone possibly give me some help with what's wrong for a windows user? Thanks.

It's possible that you have a small -> large contact converter that's not stereo perhaps?

Do you have anything looking something like that to be able to use the headphones or whatever sound device you're using?

I know that some of the fancier sound cards have special effects (like echoes and such) that will result in cross-over. Also, have you told your sound card that you are using stereo headphones? If you normally have a 5.1 surround sound system and then plug in headphones, I think it will also cause channels to bleed into each other.

I noticed that I have this problem too :shock:

At first I didn't notice it, because apparently they do something weird with the sound to make it sound like it's coming from different directions even though it's playing in both ears at the same time.

After some random changing of settings, I noticed that when set to headphones it's doing weird things, and when set to 2 speakers it's playing each channel separately properly. It was expected that it would be weird when set to 4 channels, but I didn't know that it could be weird at the headphones setting aswell which is why it took quite a while to locate the problem.

I'm using a soundblaster 1024 card btw.

AH HAH!

I figured it out.

Plug the headphones into the computer, not the speakers. DIRECTLY into the computer.

Then open the sound thingy and mute everything except for "Wave."

MAKE SURE "STEREO WIDE" is off.

Of course, why didn't I think of that? :P
