I found several examples of stereo tests on youtube using the "stereo test" search. They certainly work on my headphones. Good luck! On Thu, 19 Mar 2020 at 10:55, Don Tai via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:
The specs on this laptop say that it is stereo. I'd be surprised if it was not.

You could download Audacity and try recording in left or right only channels.

I think that this particular laptop has mono sound. I have been using it temporarily to stream content by HDMI to a LG HD monitor and then by fibre optical cable to a NED D3020 V2 hybrid amplifier and finally to a pair of bass reflect speakers. Unfortunately sound comes out of only one speaker.
After extensive tests I have determined to my satisfaction that the problem is in the laptop. I can test the two speakers built in the laptop separately, but I have no way of knowing whether the sound so produced is mono or stereo. I could find no specs for this laptop with details about the sound card.
Lack of such specs indicates to me that Acer does not want people to know that this laptop is mono only. Is mono sound the norm for low market laptops such as this one and notebooks?
