Spliting Stereo Sound

[Guest]

I have a program that deals with brains waves and relys completely on
headphones. One of the tests is when a sound is being played in one earphone
and can only be playing in that earphone. I can't find out where to do that.
Whenever I click test right (or left) ear I always hear a little bit in the
other ear. This should not happen. It says that this may be happening
becasue of some special effects (i.e. surrounds sound), and I can figure out
what needs to be changes in the audio options to get rid of those special
effects (and I've already tryed switching it to stereo, but the problem
remains).

Hi, Dan. I studied neuroscience as an undergrad, so I understand how
important it is to have the monaural signal, but I doubt you will get an
answer here. It is really more of an XP/Hardware problem, or perhaps Music?
Otherwise, a non-MS forum may be the way to go.

does the sound card have a stereo output?

one way to test would be to play some other type of sound / music and if the
player your using has a equaliser like (windows media player) move it from
left to right channel and see if the sound changes there. if it does the you
have stereo output and there could be a problem with the program your using
or the settings.

Actually the problem has nothing at all to do with Windows, and
everything to do with the Sound card, sound card software and drivers
and any post amplification hardware you are using. If the hardware is
low quality you can hear cross over.
