I would like to think I have an ok grip on audio physics but then I get bested by things I know should be Audio 101. I apologize as this may have been covered, but my search terms were poor and vague apparently.
I have a laptop connected to a 3.5mm to xlr adapter to the https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GT48X2P/?tag=controlbooth-20
When I use this adapter the lyrics in most songs seem to get cancelled and reduced in volume by about 20db. The wave forms are not mirrored L and R but they are not set up like old records with vocals on one side etc either. Everything is panned center, I am using balanced cables and a balanced in on the Behringer and the music is normal in every other way (Multiple songs as well). If I play with the LR pan on the laptop the volume of the vocals get much louder, which leads me to believe its a weird cancellation issue. I ended up making a special adapter that works much better, but I don't understand what is fully going on and why, and more importantly what adapter get I buy so I dont have to keep making special adapters? Sorry for the simple question.
