SO = LoadSound("Test.wav")
ID = PlaySound(SO)
SetSoundInstanceBalance(ID,-1)
----------------------------------------------
This should play test.wav only in the left channel. It doesn't seem to work. Sound is heard in both channels. Is it AppGameKit bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for advice.
(Test.wav is mono, AppGameKit 2019.12.16, Windows 10.)

Is your test sound stereo or mono? I also had trouble getting any stereo sounds to work with balancing, but mono sequences always seemed to work fine.

That bit and sample rate also wouldn't work for me. I also tried lower. It may be something device specific also, I don't know. The only sounds that behaved properly for me with instance balancing left-right were mono.

OK guys. I have re-sampled all wav using 16bits/mono/44kHz as you suggested and now it is working fine.
Thanks to all of you for your quick and helpful answers.

The mono part of that indeed seems to be the solution. I also use mono sounds at different sample rates with success. Glad you got it to work.
