Ok, I was working on some audio editing and somewhere in my project, there was a problem that was messing up what I was supposed to hear in the final mix. Finally, after a day of debugging, I've found the root of it but don't know what to do:
- no matter what MONO audio file I use, if I create a stereo version of it by simply copying the SAME MONO file on both channels and then inverting one of them (don't ask why, I need to have one channel with an inverted phase in my project), when I play the file, I only get a vvvveeeeeryyyyy silent output, almost unnoticed.
Why??? It's not my program's fault, I've tried many audio editors, from simple ones (like Audacity) to others that are more complex, and they all do the same, even if I save the file on the disk and then play it with VLC or Windows Media Player ... is this a software issue with Windows 7 64-bit or is it a hardware problem?
And no, don't tell me it's normal because the channels cancel eachother when rendered through the air. Even if I go right next to one particular speaker grill and put my ear next to it, it's still clear that there's almost no sound coming out of it.
I'm using:
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Mainboard: Asus P5P43TD Pro
Soundcard (onboard): Realtek ALC887 @ Intel 82801JB ICH10

and you can't really tell if yours is true-stereo either, until you try such a specific signal like mine (x on L-ch and -x on R-ch). Normal music is not that obvious ...
