sound issue when recording from external devices

Hello, I have a problem when I connect my keyboard to 500 and hit the keys the sound is only in the left speaker/headphone and little bit on the right, but very low volume though. When I connected it for the first time it was fine for few seconds and finish. Also when recording from cd player the same problem. I have found a way around it using q link slider, but its extra work. I have 16Mb memory. Anybody have some clue? Thanks.

You need to sample in mono. Or connect two jack's.

Sorry I dont get it. On my keyboard there is only headphones/out, I have stereo to mono cable.

I have a similar problem. I switch it to mono L and put the cable in the left in jack and I get nothing but if I put it in not all the way it works fine. Anyone else experience this?

this is because as already stated, the socket is mono not stereo, so get a splitter cable to 2 jacks or use a mono cable

Phono thanx for your interest.

I am using splitter cable to 2 jacks, but what I get is normal sound in left speaker and lower volume sound in right speaker. Sometimes it works fine, but usually not. Thanks again.

Sorry i was not clear in my answer. My english is shit

ok, the problem is solved, I just pushed the switch to mic recording and it works fine, little bit more noise, but still ok
