Success, now can hear both the left and right channels on the one good right speaker, with just slightly less volume. Then under enhancements I chose Headphone virtualization. So I right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and choose playback devices, then the properties for the headphone. Not a big deal for me, If I need them I will just re-install the laptop sound drivers. Only thing is that because I uninstalled the laptops sound driver, I no longer have any of the environment or equalizer settings. So finally I decided not to use the setup.exe and instead double clicked on alcupd.exe (the driver update program). I tried again to install the generic driver I had just downloaded without success. It did not want to install because the driver was not signed.
So I finally ended up at the realtek site and downloaded a generic vista/win7 driver. I have a realtek driver loaded and nowhere could I find a mono setting. Going to playback devices and configure for the speaker only had a stereo setting. So started my quest, to set windows 7 up to play sound in mono. So I figured that the pod cast must be playing only out the left channel.
I tried playing something else and it played fine. Windows volume meter showed there was in fact something playing but it was not coming out the right speaker. But today I wanted to listen to a podcast and there was no sound. Movies and such usually get routed through the headphone jack to the surround sound system. It did not bother me because most games and music seemed to sound just fine with one speaker. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.I know this is an old post but people may still be looking for an answer, and I have found it.Ībout two or three months ago my left speaker in the laptop died. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver.
It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
