Audio coming from left channel only

PostWed May 31, 2017 10:22 am

Hello all - downloaded the free version of Hauptwerk to trial before I buy. I have a mid 2010 macbook Pro with 8GB of RAM and the latest OS. Successfully plugged it into my Viscount's midi inputs, but the sound is only coming out of the left-hand-side of my headphones. Any ideas on how to sort? My headphones are plugged into my headphone socket on my laptop.Thank you!

Hello Olly,

Thanks very much for the interest in Hauptwerk.

On the right-hand side of the 'General settings | Audio outputs' screen in Hauptwerk, please check that:

1. The channel format is set to stereo (not mono), and:

2. You have your Mac's built-in headphones output selected as the audio output device, and:

3. You have both its left and right device channels selected (as opposed to having 'none' selected for either of the two channel settings).

Does that solve it? If not, is the right-hand speaker in your headphones working for other non-Hauptwerk use (such as playing music in iTunes)?
Best regards, Martin.

Solved! Thank you. For some reason, the right channel in audio settings on Hauptwerk was set to 'none'. Peculiar. Worth noting, though, for other users, that my Viscount had its midi inputs installed the wrong way round.Took me hours to figure out why Hautpwerk wasn't working when I'd checked everything so thoroughly...

Thanks, Olly.

Excellent. You're very welcome.

Do you mean that your Viscount's MIDI IN port is incorrectly labelled on the Viscount hardware itself as 'MIDI OUT' and vice-versa?
