[alsa-devel] Alsa Issue - Sound playback starts on left speaker only

[Ashwin.Chandra at corel.com]

Hello,

I am having an issue with my playback application where upon playback
start, only the left speaker is outputted. But if I mute and unmute
(either through my application or using alsamixer), the sound playback
resumes on both left and right speakers. This only happens on a
particular system too (out of 5 systems). But I know it is my issue
because mplayer or smplayer works fine.

 

I believe I am setting the correct HW params (ie. 2 channels), etc.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!
