VGA to HDMI: mono audio

[Borgman2018]

I finally finished my GBS Control, it seems to work but as soon as I tried the headphones I noticed a problem: I can hear only the left channel. In order to troubleshoot the audio, I connected the Playstation2 output directly to an audio receiver and it works fine on both sides.
So, the audio goes in stereo and it comes out mono.

The component responsible for the GBS audio is this VGA to HDMI adapter.

I'm not sure if the adapter is defective or if it's simply a mono device. I looked up the store page the and I found out that it doesn't ever specify if it's stereo or mono (although they talk about "HD audio" and they show pictures of Hi-Fi and amplifiers connected to it, so it would be easy to suppose it's stereo).

If it is mono, where I can be sure to buy a stereo one (of the same form factor, it needs to fit inside the GBS enclosure)?

To clarify, you tested the PS2 with the male 3.5mm output and not the RCA one?

Does anything happen if you move (e.g. wiggle and rotate) the 3.5mm when inserted into the VGA adapter?

Have you tested a different cable/source?

I'm using a PS2 component cable, and the audio RCAs are connected to a Y cable that ends with a 3,5 stereo plug, and I did test the whole cable, including the Y extension.

I tried to wiggle and rotate but nothing happens, the audio is always on the left only.

I did try a different cable, but even the same exact cable works when it's connected to something other than the VGA > HDMI adapter.

3.5 jack end of Y cable is TRS or TRRS?
also your link gives " Spiacenti, la pagina richiesta non è stata trovata " somehow

and HDMI port of TV is "normal" HDMI or HDMI ARC or MHL?
also are there settings in your TV to change port type?

Weird, it's gone now, I can confirm. I had it cached on my browser so I could make some screenshot and save some product pictures. I can post them if you're interested. (nevermind, the problem was solved)

Well, you solved the problem, many thanks.

I was using an HDMI port, which, for some reason, is placed far from the other HDMI inputs and near the 3.5 headphones output. I don't how and why this was influencing the audio.
