Just as a proof of principle: MPC-HC allows to remap one of channels to
2 output channels. Use virtual audio device as output. Create a stream
from it using VLC. It works but it is neither practical nor reliable.

Thanks for the headphone tip.
It's probably a combination of the way our DSP mixes stereo to mono and
the audio from the station. If both channels cancel each other out, or
mostly cancel each other out, this will happen. It could be an encoding
problem or some other problem at the station's side.

Thanks for looking into this. That makes sense. Just by hearing the
sound I could guess it was kind of decoding/processing issue. But when
I got the typical support answer pointing third party as culprit it was
kindof insulting my intelligence. Thus, I pointed how wrong the answer
was. Now I got
I have tried to restream through VLC by downsampling to mono.
Interestingly, VLC scrampbles down the audio the same way.

Worst case it could actually be some kind of wide stereo effect added

In the old days sound engineers actually checked (booth live and on
records) if the sound was mono compatible if it sounded reasonable ok
in mono to.
Meh nowadays one should probably be
Got the first answer from Logitech support... Plot thickensÂ… They really
take people for idiots, I believe. They wrote that PC has a priority in
streaming from the radio station. They suggested that the result will
vary during the day depending on the network congestion.
They do not understand

Hi,
I have left last week a message to support but did not get any answer
yet. To make long story short the station Echo of Moscow is by default
24kbps which is impossible to listen. I have found an mp3 stream of the
same radio with 128kbps
