Hello again, I decided to test every bit of the system and it did turn out to be a hardware (cabling) problem after all! My sincere apologies to all those who spent time trying to help me. A wrong "capture source" setting in my fedora 2 installation had misled me into believing that I was recording both channels, when in fact I was only getting two copies of the left channel (at least that's how it seems to me now). Sorry again, Mandar. On 5/15/07, Mandar Mitra <mandar@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hello all, > > If you have a SB Live 5.1 card, could you please do an experiment for > me?
