Title: Monitoring left and right audio channel, at the same time...
Post by: clausfrederiksen on October 24, 2012, 05:37:39 PM
Hi,

I can't seen to monitor left and right audio channel - at the same time, in v.2.3. It´s either one or the other, not both - with the mini jack, half way in, or out - depending on what channel  :(

Changing headsets and/or cables don't solve the problem. I had a Canon tec. guy check the 5D - just in case og a loose connector etc. But all was fine...

Any one? Or did I miss a detail or two in the software setup?

Use the correct cable, as described in the user guide.

If I took the original cable, and cut off the phono part - and replaced it with a stereo mini jack female. Would that do the trick?

Or is the only way, to use the original cable, untouched, and then ad on what ever will work  ???

Thanks it advance...

That's exactly what  I did. Exept I put on a male 3.5mm 4 pole so I can also plug into my 10" monitor or my Filo pre amp thingy. works for me.
PS I just wish my soldering skills were better. Would save me splicing the cable and make a tidier job .
