i like to mix on speakers and then check on headphones. i simply plugged my phones into the phone output on the front panel and got sound - at least that's what used to happen. now i only get left hand channel. BIAB works fine - both channels using WAS. windows media player works fine with mp3s and wav files.

but RB doesn't. WAS and MME one channel only

plugging my uphoria usb interface in, the same with WAS and MME but using the dedicated uphoria driver i get both channels.

so it must be RB (mustn't it?) BIAB headphones work when plugged in, pull plug out, speakers back. windows media - plug phones in sound on both channels, pull plug out back to speakers.

i can use my phones with the uphoria asio driver and interface but in the past was quite happy to just plug the phones in and use the soundblaster.

inconvenient to drag the interface out and plug it in but its a workaround.

tried changing the soundblaster to exclusive/non exclusive. but as i say everythng works as it should do except RB.

and yes i tried a return to factory settings and no it can't be a loose plug or dmaged lead cos everything else works.

RB has always worked 'out of the box' but this has me totally baffled

and just plugged in my usb conference call headset and get both channels............
