It could also be the monitor that is mono. Try another monitor with the same HDMI cable. Don. On Thu, 19 Mar 2020 at 11:42, Ken Heard via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. The laptop definitely is stereo. Earlier this evening (Thursday) I disconnected the fibre optic cable between the monitor and the amplifier. I then plugged in a pair of cheap earphones into the monitor and played some music. Only one ear received any sound.
It looks as though the HDMI cable is the culprit. The next step is to connect another HDMI cable between the laptop and the monitor. That I will do tomorrow morning (Friday).
