    Hey guys,

    I tried to explain my issue here before but i apologise as it made no sense, so i thought a photo would best explain it.

    Basically on my Camcorder there is one audio port, however on my new Video Grabber there is two audio ports(L&R) therefore I can only get sound out of one speaker.

    Basically I am looking for the name of a cable/wire I could get rather then software to correct this.

    Here is the specifications of the camera - Its an old sony handycam

    Thanks in advance!! :)

    The camera only has a mono output. You arent missing any audio with the connection you have.
    If you are transferring the video to your computer and into an editor, you can duplicate the one audio channel you have onto the other, so you essentially have twin mono.

    Thanks for your help. May i ask is this easy to do? Could you perhaps recommend a program that would allow me to do this?

    He could capture it as stereo could he not, which would essentially do the same thing only with less fiddling...

    (if your capture software supports this, it would be the easiest option. Or you could buy a mono - stereo phono cable).

    You could also use something like Soundforge to convert the mono to stereo.
