  1. Mono audio troubles


    Hi, I’ve been having some problems with the audio in my pc... it seems as though no matter what I do it’s always mono audio. The mono audio setting is off and the realtek audio console is no help to this issue at all. When I turn my main volume slider in the Realtek console all the way to the left ear I hear clearly in mono audio and the same happens when I slide it all the way to the right. But when the slider is put in the center to balance the audio and make it stereo it just muffles voices and makes certain stuff quiet. I would really appreciate help with this, I’ve spent hours trying to fix it to no avail.

    Mono audio (ease of access) plus Listen to Microphone (audio control)

    I wish to have my Windows 10 (20H2) machine listen to microphone (relay audio from sound input device to sound output device) and be in Mono audio mode (combine left and right input sound streams and send the combined result to both left and right output sound stream) at start-up.

    The "Turn on Mono" setting does not appear to take effect until after an (any?) application using windows sound is started. The "listen to microphone" setting IS in effect at start-up (however, the audio flow is still stereo, which is not intended.)

    Here is the step-by-step:

    1. Start Windows 10, no audio-based application running
    2. Ease of Access > Audio > Turn on Mono
    3. Sound Control Panel > Recording > (double click on) Microphone > Listen > [x] Listen to this Device

    4. Reboot.

    5. At this point, the "Turn on Mono" setting does not appear to be in effect (left and right audio channels are still distinct)

    6. Start (any) windows sound application

    7. At this point, the "Turn on Mono" setting DOES appear to be in effect (left and right channels are merged at input, and the merged audio is presented to both left and right audio outputs)

    8. Stop the windows sound application

    9. At this point, the "Turn on Mono" setting DOES appear to be in effect (left and right channels are merged at input, and the merged audio is presented to both left and right audio outputs)

    Repeatable beginning at step 4.

    I imagine this is not intended behavior, and I'm wondering if it's an oversight in Windows 10?

    Thanks for any advice or attempts to duplicate this sequence.

    Mono audio loss

    I use mono to listen to music with one headphone.

    For some tracks, all or part of the audio is 180 degrees out of phase between the stereo channels, silencing it.

    Solution: Invert one channel then mix both channels, halve the amplitude of the result, then mix it with the original mono track.

    Is there a way to make that solution part of the mono function?
