Hey all! I think at one point I changed the balance of my audio output (an earbud was a little dead so I shifted the amount of sound coming out of the left and right to compensate). I’ve long since gotten a new pair of headphones but sometimes I connect them and the balance has reverted back! It drives me bananas (I’m the sort of person who must turn on the mono sound accessibility feature bc stereo effects make me dizzy) and I have no idea if it’s something I’m doing to trigger the behavior or if I’m stuck with it until this computer dies.

Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas about how to fix it?

    I get that sometimes. I thought it was Bluetooth having trouble. If I turn the phone upside down in my pocket, or switch which pocket my phone is in, it’s often fixed.

    This is with hearing aids and several different earbuds; and has followed me between iPhones, so I’m at a loss to explain it.

      Ah damnit. I sorta thought this problem started on my old computer but I thought ‘Surely not. How could this problem be tied to my Apple ID??’ but your experience suggests I was correct. :/ was hoping it would eventually go away with a new device
