In the old days , most sound cards support mono and only those high end sound card support stereo (OSS 3.x API) , however nowadays, most onboard sound cards (e.g. intel8x0 and HDA ) does not support mono, only stereo, surround40, surround51 and surround71
The following command fail if your sound card does not support mono
sox -t wav mono.wav -t ossdsp /dev/dsp
This may due to the difference of API between ALSA OSS emulation (OSS Free3.8) and OSS 4.0
Can you give me a wave file recorded in mono so I could test this command? Unfortunately I have no such file.
you can convert any stereo.wav to mono.wav by sox
sox -c2 stereo.wav -c 1 mono.wav
