Hey Sonispios. Can you check your Speaker Setup on the operating system level and make sure it is setup correctly to reflect your physical output device? For instance, if you are using stereo speakers or headphones, make sure the Speaker Setup is not set to surround sound. Otherwise everything on the center channel will attempt to play through a non-existent speaker.

Dear,

I have the same issue as you had Sonispios, but it has a bit twist. So when I’m on my headset I can hear everything properly. However when I’m on my speakers (mostly using this) and the settings are correct, I can hear everything thru speakers, except the Lute’s songs. Resetting the settings to default isn’t helping either. :S

Anyone met with the problem? Or have a fix?

Best Regards

Kouta
