3.5 Audio Problems

[35mm]

I am using the standard usb to usb and 2.5 dongle with a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter. With this set up I am only getting audio from the right channel. Is this most likely a problem with the dongle or the adapter? Would using a mono adapter give me sound in both channels?

Did you wiggle it around at all and see if perhaps you had any broken wires in the "dongle" or perhaps your headphones. you get sound out of both if they're plugged into something else right.

This is the problem when using a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter for headphones. The rings on the standard 2.5 headset have 3 rings for 4 sections. When you put an adapter into the 2.5 to convert it to the 3.5 depending on how the 2.5 socket is wired you cross things out bc the 3.5 adapter has 2 rings with 3 sections. This crosses wires and makes only 1 channel work. The workaround is to pull the the headphones just a tiny bit out of the adapter but this will give you sound from both headphones just not sure if it is stereo or mono sound coming out.

Wow just get a direct 3.5mm adapter from Mogul Depot. It's only $5 and $5 S&H and I use it and it works great even on WM 6.1!

The pulling it out trick worked. I would purchase a new one but I need it tomorrow for a car trip, I just realized I wanted to use my mogul to listen to audio books in the car. Would a mono adapter give me sound out of both sides?

Maybe. Or it would just be one side. I haven't messed with a mono hook up to know.
