Volume control on left channel only - Asus Xonar Essence STX & win7
Hi all, this is my first post. Sorry that it's a request for assistance.
I have a problem with my self build HTPC.
In a nutshell (since yesterday) when I adjust the volume in a media player (winamp or Jriver) only the left channel changes in volume, the right channel remains at 100%.
Both channels were working OK (volume worked on L and R) however last night all of a sudden the right channel stopped altering. I have changed nothing, all cables and connections are sound. I've check everything I can think of within the software and searched on the web for similar problems and can't find a solution.
This is a screen capture of my windows audio controls. When I adjust the Jriver volume control both speakers change volume together (yet when I change them in the program only the left channel alters). When I change the "Speaker" control only the left channel changes.
Any ideas what I need to so to sort this? It's a critical function as it's a HTPC primarily used for music and video playback. Thank you very much
Edit to add;
Using a different sound card solves the problem, so it's definitely Xonar STX related.
