Hi,
I already wrote a post on the subject, although it wasn't accurate, and could not retrieve it..
For example, should I play https://youtu.be/j0dPJOOlGZA from the browser of from downloaded file, sound is crippled when output isn't on laptop internal speaker.
Please note this is an odd situation in respect with ~4000 auditable downloaded files.

Any idea what is happening?
Any idea how to fix (I have a bad feeling it isn't fixable, though)?

Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

Do you mean there is sound via headphones, but it sounds funny? Can you describe what it sounds like?

Concerned files play fine on laptop internal speaker, and sound gibberish on jack connected external speakers/headphones.

I haven't tried on HDMI audio yet.

Hi,
Ops, my bad!
My internal laptop sound system is stereo of course, as my external speaker is mono, but mixing channels.
Now the clue, 4 those who haven't guessed yet:
Channels were dephased on troublesome tracks!

Maybe pulseaudio GUI would allow me to mix before sending to internal stereo... I've got to check that out!

Thks 4 ur attention,interest & support.
