First off, was the cable a stereo one? Male to male 1/8" mini-plug cables come in two forms. One is stereo, one isn't. The stereo ones have two 'rings' on the plug. One end goes into the headphone or line out jack, the other to the line in on the sound card. More traditional decks need RCA cables - and the other side needs 1/8" miniplug. Assuming of course you've settled the cabling issue - maybe you've got a bad cable or a short in the input connector on the deck. (I had to replace a portable cd - it's headset jack was shorted out and I had to hold the headset jack in just right otherwise I get one channel). I can't think of anything offhand that will "center" the audio output between two channels. You might fiddle first with mpg123 and lame, try to use 'joint' stereo encoding and see what happens. Use xine (recommended) to play since both channels are graphed separately. Audacity would be my next step. Perhaps sox has a thing for this as well - it can do lots of cool stuff. > /\ > Dark><Lord > \/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
