Geoff and list: Thanks for the response; no, the radio in the bathroom (to my knowledge) doesn't have an earphone jack! However, my computer speakers _do_ have a headphone jack! So I am wondering if therein lies the problem as the headphones that I plugged in only get sound out of one side! I have already figured out that the headphones are fine as they work in the Victor Stream as they should! Tom Kaufman

I would try inserting and extracting the plug several times to see if one of the contacts that restore sound to the speakers has failed. If it's not the contacted may be the amplifier chip on that particular channel that has quit. Seeing that you have good audio everywhere else, it leaves you with the radio and the earphone jack.

I have an FM transmitter that came from CCrane; my problem is that I'm noticing that if I'm listening to whatever is on the computer through a mono clock radio that I have in the bathroom, I am only hearing one channel coming through! Now the radios in the house that are boom boxes (stereo) sound fine; both channels play and the computer speakers are fine! But that clock radio seems to only be playing one track! I had thought maybe there was something awry with the transmitter, but as I mentioned, things sound fine through the other radios (the clock radio used to sound fine) another thing (and this might be a connection; not sure! But I have a set of headphones that I have plugged into the headphone jack of the computer speaker (can't remember what the brand of speakers these are; Power Tech or something like it) anyhow, the headphones are only getting sound through one headphone! So I figured that this problem was with my headphones! However, I plugged these headphones into my Victor Stream, and it plays through both sides! So this tells me that there's something cock-eyed somewhere; but I don't know where! Does anyone here have any ideas of where this problem is coming from? Am running a Windows 7 machine (a Dell 8700 (hope I have that right) has a Reeltech soundcard in it; hopefully I have provided enough information for you to work with! It just seems odd that the one clock radio plays one channel of whatever is coming through the computer, when it didn't used to! Thanks for any and all info you may be able to provide! Tom Kaufman
