Re: [Alsa-user] Fix Skype on headphones sound only on one ear

2009-04-18 Thread Christian Asseburg
Dear HoverHell, thanks for the idea.

I don't have .asoundrc in my home directory. Do you think I can just  
create it and the system will find it?

Also, I'm not sure how I would specify the device. I'm using hw:default,0  
for the Skype sound output, it is not the default device. (Which sounds  
stupid, seeing that it's called hw:default, but when I do not specify a  
device I get the laptop soundcard, not this one.)

Could you have a look at the attached information and confirm how I have  
to clarify in .asoundrc that I mean the hw:default,0 device? Thank you!

With best wishes -

. . . Christian

 Dear ALSA users list -

 I'm using Skype for Linux on a laptop, with the laptop soundcard (card 0)
 the default and a USB headset for Skype calls (card 1). Everything is
 working fine, except that the sound during Skype conversations is heard  
 on
 one ear only. I would like to hear (the same) sound on both ears. Please
 point me in the right direction on how to fix this, thank you!

In asoudrc examples there's a way to solve that problem (which i didn't
encounter lately though):

# skype and ekiga are only mono, so route left channel to the right channel
pcm.mono_playback {
  type route
  slave.pcm default
  slave.channels 2
  # Send Skype channel 0 to the L and R speakers at full volume
  ttable.0.01
  ttable.0.11
}

e.g. it routes left (AFAIR) channel on 'mono_playback' device to left
and right of 'default' device.
