It's now freeware.

 
Thanks very much ,it is excellent ,ive always had a bit of a problem with the sound being loader in one speaker ,any  clue to what might be wrong ,im hoping its just a chip, Brian.

If you are using the stock A600 then you will be limited to 4 channels.
 
But if you upgrade your A600 with an accellerator then you can do 64 channels like the rest of us.

LOL Dont tempt me ,an accellerator ,now that sounds interesting ,but im not sure it will cure the lack of volume coming through one of the speakers,infact its more than half the volume if not less ,so i think i have a problem,thanks any way,Brian

Swap the audio connections for Left/Right and see if the other speaker gets quieter. If so, it's a problem on the Amiga side. If not, it's a problem in the monitor (or external speakers).

Hi and thanks ,i have tried that ,and what i did find is that the bad side worked in both the outputs on the Amiga with no or very little loss of volume ,only when both were plugged in did one side go  down ,i cant say it struggles with any anything it has to do ,ive just installed extra memory and its very quick ,i wonder if theres enough power coming from the psu ,thanks again,Brian

Balance control on the speakers themselves?

Hi and thanks for the reply ,theres no way of balancing them on my amp ,but as the bad side is good when the other plug isnt inserted ,so i may need a little more psu power ,not sure ,Brian

I had the exact same problem with a 4000, it was down to failing capacitors. I would imagine that your 600 is due a change. Sorry
 
If you don't want to tackle it yourself, Amigakit offer a service for Audio repair and cap replacement.

Hi and thank you ,you may be right ,i  may have a go myself as i can solder quite well ,but there again it seems quite cheap to have it done by Amigakit,its not urgent but i would like it done thanks again,Brian.

This actualy is a very good way of sorting it in the short turn,so ive changed the amp for one with balance control and it is awesome ,ive loaded some  midi tunes in to octamed that other Amiga members have wrote and they sound brilliant ,what exactly do i need to imput some simple tunes ?because i sure would like to join the musical Amiga Band,lol best wishes Brian.:elvis:
