Force mono sound in OSX 10.3.2 - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

ApexgriN · 01-08-2004, 07:09 PM

Hi, first post. I'll get right to it. I have an iBook with 10.3.2 and it's connected to my receiver (stereo, can't be bridged) which has 1 Zenith Allegro MC4000 connected to it. Most my music is in stereo, but I love the sound of the old Zenith. The stereo tracks don't sound right out of one channel and I can't figure out how to bridge the stereo tracks in OSX.

Any suggestions? I'm familiar with terminal so a solution working at a lower level isn't a problem.

It would be easier if someone just happened to have 1 or 2 Allegro 3/4000s they'd sell me.

Thanks

wow... so... I'm kinda confused here, bear with me. you have your iBook plugged into your stereo, but it's not mono like you want? are you playing out of iTunes?

is this close?

Why don't you just use a stereo-to-mono RCA adapter out of your receiver to the Zenith? Or use the adapter out of the iBook and then a RCA Y adapter for feeding into the receiver.
