I had been a long time gnome user (about 7-8 years) but because I can't stand gnome 3 I moved to KDE. Been using KDE for about 3 months now and I love it.

Now to my problem. Sometimes I'm listening to music at work and I only use 1 headphone because I still want to be able to hear people talking to me. In Gnome I had been able to shift the sound from the right headphone to the left (so I can still hear all of the sound, basically just making it a mono headphone).

But I can't find an option for it in KDE, I've done many searches and can't find an answer to this.

My description may not be very good so lets look at a specific example.

In some songs where there are 2 singers, the sound from one singer will be in the left channel, and the sound from the other singer will be in the right channel. If I'm only using one headphone, then I only hear one singer. When I was using gnome I would open up the volume control app and slide the balance setting over and I would be able to hear both singers on that one headphone.

Anyone know of a way I can do that?

What distro? Pulse Audio or Alsa?

Sorry about that. It's opensuse 12.1 with pulse audio.

I just happen to have Suse loaded up in VirtualBox.

I fired it up and took a look at the Kmixer, including the "advanced" settings. I couldn't find anything that would do what you want.

I also looked for a switch to change the output to mono and couldn't find one.

I'm not a regular Suse user. Maybe we will get luck and someone else will enlighten us.
