Most probably the speaker(s) are not properly wired and left and right channels cancel each other. You could check this as follows: play a mono file and meanwhile try the following: doas outputs.master=200,0 doas outputs.master=0,200 doas outputs.master=200,200 first two should play but the last one should produce (almost) silence. > If I understand sndioctl well enough this kind of left and right > speaker adjustment is not possible under sndioctl. dmesg attached. > fwiw, to control individual channels (if hardware allows it), put the channel number between squire brackets: sndioctl output[1].level=0 > Thanks again for all the magnificent effort.
