Dear HoverHell, thanks for the idea.
I don't have .asoundrc in my home directory. Do you think I can just
create it and the system will find it?
Also, I'm not sure how I would specify the device. I'm using hw:default,0
for the Skype sound output, it is not the default device. (Which sounds
stupid, seeing that it's called "hw:default", but when I do not specify a
device I get the laptop soundcard, not this one.)
Could you have a look at the attached information and confirm how I have
to clarify in .asoundrc that I mean the hw:default,0 device? Thank you!
With best wishes -
. . . Christian

Dear ALSA users list -
I'm using Skype for Linux on a laptop, with the laptop soundcard (card 0)
the default and a USB headset for Skype calls (card 1). Everything is
working fine, except that the sound during Skype conversations is heard
on
one ear only. I would like to hear (the same) sound on both ears. Please
point me in the right direction on how to fix this, thank you!

In asoudrc examples there's a way to solve that problem (which i didn't
encounter lately though):
# skype and ekiga are only mono, so route left channel to the right channel
pcm.mono_playback {
type route
slave.pcm "default"
slave.channels 2
# Send Skype channel 0 to the L and R speakers at full volume
ttable.0.0 1
ttable.0.1 1
}
e.g. it routes left (AFAIR) channel on 'mono_playback' device to left
and right of 'default' device.ca@home ~ $ cat /proc/asound/cards
