and when i play back, it only plays on the left speaker. this happens when i try to record with creative audigy1 recorder, and another 3rd party recorder.

my right speaker works just fine.

i've plugged my guitar up on all the connectors, and only the line in picks it up. and only left speaker.
 
ok i had to do it to mono, but i cant find the setting on it for my creative audigy recorder. where do i change it to mono??
the other recording software works, but its shareware and only lets me record 40 secs worth.
 
Is your plug a mono plug that goes into the input of the card? I would get a mono to stereo adapter for it as your input is a stereo one and shorting both inputs together can't be good for your card.

just bought a stereo plug, now the other recorder works with stereo, but still creative recorder is only playing on left speaker.
 
what software are you using to record? as i'm a fellow guitarist who records for fun. i have the audigy 2 plat. ex. and am also trying to record and edit my own music. only luck i had with stereo sound was through my mixer then through my ex box.

the software that works with stereo is "advanced sound recorder". its shareware, and only records 40 secs worth or music.

im using audigy1 software, creative recorder. whats a ex box?? how much was your mixer? im not a pro, just doing this for fun so price is a huge concern

He has an external box with his Audigy 2 so its a bit easier for him to set it up...
 
i went to guitar center and bought an $80 euro rack mixer. so if you get this you can probly get stereo sound by going through the mixer through you line in. what i haven't been able to do is all out audio editing, recording over a rhythm piece through layers or loops or whatever its called then adding vocals and all that good stuff. hopefully i'll figure out soon enough. i use total recorder also, but you have to pay for it if you want to record for longer that min i think.
 
Does the Audigy have two inputs for audio? (One for left speaker and one for right speaker?) If it does, you may want to go to radio shack and buy an adapter which will take the input from the guitar or your current audio input, to those two ports. Then you will have the same sound recorded on the left and right speakers.

not that i know of since i plugged it into all the connectors on the audigy, and only the 'line in' is able to get my guitar sounds
 
The LINE IN port on the Audigy is a stereo mini-jack port. The cable from your guitar probably has a stereo mini-jack, but your guitar pickup is mono, so only one channel is being fed. What you need to do is get a patch cable from the guitar with a Y pair of connectors, and then bridge those to another patch so that the same mono signal is being fed to both channels of the Audigy. Too bad Audigy doesn't have a stereo/mono switch so it can all be done internally.

I've used Goldwave for audio editing. It's a pretty good program actually, with some advanced features. It will let you remove the blank right channel, and just work with the left one - either by converting it to a mono sound file, or by copying the sound from the left to the right. You'd probably need to do that for some CD players, since not all can read mono sound data - it'll need to have both channels present.

i guess this is what i needed to know. i think ill just buy the shareware that does allow switching between mono and stereo for like 30 bucks.
