I first noticed when viewing YouTube. So, I tried "audio test" from System Setting (KDE here). You get a popup, with "front left" and "front right" buttons. And, sure enough, depending on headphone, only mono was coming out, left side only, right side only, or to both sides. On 2025-09-21 23:46, Karen Lewellen wrote:
William May I ask what is providing the audio for you? Before suggesting some possible causes, I would appreciate a better picture of your setup. Karen

I'm using 3.5mm jack, not USB. I don't think any internal contact is broken, because it's the same via front "headphone" or rear "line-out".

Do you use an audio jack or USB? If an audio jack, it is possible that the contacts are dirty and need cleaning. You can try a little electrical contact cleaner. But this should not affect the stereo/mono settings.

My audio used to work properly in stereo. All of sudden, it stopped working in stereo. Depending on headphones, - only 1 side has sound, or - both sides have sound, but it's mono (ie. same sound on both side).
Anyone experienced this?
