-The above represents bypassing the headphone mixers on both channels.
+The above represents bypassing the headphone mixers on both channels. Experiment with just mono files and try to set the left channel to come through the mixer for that channel.
+First, switch to have HPOUTL come from the mixer, not directly from DACL. This should kill the output to the left HP channel (until we configure the mixer properly):
+<code>
+# amixer cset name="HPOUTL PGA" Mixer
+numid=95,iface=MIXER,name='HPOUTL PGA'
+  ; type=ENUMERATED,access=rw------,values=1,items=2
+  ; Item #0 'DAC'
+  ; Item #1 'Mixer'
+  : values=1
+</code>
+<code>
+# amixer get "HPOUTL PGA"
+Simple mixer control 'HPOUTL PGA',0
+  Capabilities: enum
+  Items: 'DAC' 'Mixer'
+  Item0: 'Mixer'
+</code>
+Indeed, playing mono files now produces no output at all (which is expected).
+Now configure HPMIXL to get input from DACL:
+<code>
+# amixer set "HPMIXL DACL" on
+Simple mixer control 'HPMIXL DACL',0
+  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
+  Playback channels: Mono
+  Mono: Playback [on]
+</code>
+But playing a mono wav file ... no sound. Not good. Oh, wait, must turn on headphone mixer:
+<code>
+# amixer set "Headphone Mixer" on,on
+Simple mixer control 'Headphone Mixer',0
+  Capabilities: pswitch
+  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
+  Mono:
+  Front Left: Playback [on]
+  Front Right: Playback [on]
+</code>
+In short:
+  * switch ''HPOUTL PGA'' to "Mixer"
+  * enable ''HPMIXL DACL''
+  * enable "Headphone Mixer"
+==== Playing mono .wav files on both headphone channels ====
+Seems simple enough:
+  * Switch ''HPOUTR PGA'' to "Mixer"
+  * Make sure "Headphone Mixer" is enabled
+  * Enable ''HPMIXR DACL''
