I just can't wrap my head around this: The sound for my Wintermute project has worked flawlessly this far. However, when I change the registry path, the sound suddenly only comes from the left channel! When I change back to the previous registry path, the sound comes from both channels again. This happens both with the compiled version and when I start the game from within WME. I'm on Win 8, but tested it on my Win 10 computer too, with the same result. It couldn't possibly be a hardware problem since it only affects my newly created registry paths.
When I take my old project files, from previous games, the same thing happens: The sound only comes from the left channel when I change the registry path, and works again when I change back. We're talking about small changes in the path, like changing a number.
The only thing I can think of that I've done between the working and the non-working registry paths is installing a little program called Audio Switch (which lets you change between audio sources with a hotkey) on both computers. I've uninstalled it without success.
I might add that I've studied the audio specifics on the newly created registry entries, and have found nothing that differs from the working entries.
Thankful for any suggestions!
