HOW CAN I DISABLE THE 3D AUDIO EFFECT? I think this effect is causing the following problem:
I created a sound file that plays sound in my left ear without sound in my right ear and then plays sound in my right ear without any in my left ear. When I hook up my headphones to the computer and play the sound, it doesn't play appropriately - the left ear sound ears come out onto both ears and the right ear sounds comes out onto both ears. When I copy the sound clip to my ipod shuffle, hook my headphones up to it, the clip plays exactly as it should: left ear sound to left ear only and right ear sound to right ear only.
I think this is caused by the computer trying to always emulate a 3d environment. I've looked all over to disable this 3d abliity but cannot find it.
I have a Studio 1555; it shows the AMD High Definition Audio Device and the IDT High Definition Audio CODEC installed.
I've tried already tried a few things: 1-disabling the CODEC just disables sound altogether. 2-There is no setting in the IDT control panel to adjust 3d. 3-Different computer programs all have the same problem (I've tried VLC player, windows media player, media player classic, itunes, and audactity)
