Question:

Stereo speakers outputs mono?

I have a very stange problem. I have a headphone and its plugged into the back jack output on my comp. When I test the sound by playing a sound on left and right side, it works. But when I plug my new speakers into the same output it only plays in mono, (right and left channel sound llike its in the middle). It happened with 2 brand new set of speakers. Also those speakers have a jack audio output on them, and if I plug in the headphones there, it plays mono as well.It's driving me crazy, please help :/thank you

Answer:

when each speaker of the 2 speakers isnt SEPARATLY connected to each of the 2 separat channels in the stereo plug, then the audio will not be stereo, that can be the problem with that installtion. it needs then a set of speakers where each of the 2 speakers is connected distinct to each of the two channels in the stereo plug of the computer, then the audio will be stereo like in the headphones. what can be done is to simply use another speaker cabel that conducts both channels from the stereo plug sepratley to each of the 2 speakers, if the curent cabel of the speakers can be simply taken off, otherwise it will need to cut the plug of the speaker cabel off to solder on a new plug on the speaker cabel with of course each channel speparatly to each of the speakers, to have actual stereo.
