My headset is mono

[espio100]

So in a previous thread about some stuff that I got a 4 pin thing and that there isnt a port on my pc or whatever.
Well I bought a splitter and now my sound is mono? Ofcourse I made sure it was stereo when I bought it.

^ this thing.
Made sure I plugged it in right but my sound is mono for some reason when I do the left/right test.
What do?
Is it the pin?
When I dont use the splitter thing it seems to be stereo tough

Mono means both stereo channels play. When music is played you hear two different things in each ear to create a better effect. With mono you lose that effect (and music doesn't sound as good)
Also what 4 pin thing?

Well, first you should have considered going into detail on what you mean by mono. But of course now we have a new problem at hand.
Reset all settings for sound to default.

[espio100]

How can you go into detail in mono? Mono is mono?
And how do I even reset all that stuff to default

[Alyx Vance]

ffs... Is it in one ear or is the stereo channels compressed into one but going through both speakers in the headset
