Hi All.
I have a MacBook Air running OSX 10.8.4. At work I hook it up to an external Dell Monitor via an HDMI cable (with audio) through a Neet thunderbolt adapter. I have some external speakers plugged into the monitor's audio socket. All hunky dory (apart from the fact I can only control volume on the speaker's buttons and not from the keyboard - but I can live with that).
Anyway, all fine for a couple of months. But suddenly I'm only getting sound through one channel. I thought it was a problem with the speakers and took them back only to be shown in the store that they worked perfectly plugged into an iPod.
I went back to the office to find I get perfect stereo when the speakers are connected directly into the headphone socket of my MBA or iPod or iPhone, but only one channel when connected via the monitor. So it works but I'd rather have it work as it was - each day I just had to plug in the monitor for decent sound. Now I have to plug in the monitor and the speakers. It's not much to complain about, but it used to work.
Any ideas?
