For those having this issue with the front aux port on a new pc, check to ensure that your front io plugins on the motherboard are all installed correctly.

[@tejasawasthi8056]

What exactly do you mean by plugins?

[@joshstinncer8212]

im not even kidding while watching this video they just randomly started working again

[@osku6727]

THANK YO! Windows had changed headphone balanced for no reason, thought my headset was broken.

[@TropicalTech]

You’re welcome, glad that fixed it!

[@FrandsenFN3]

i dont have the button balance help me please

[@lmao-rf3ks]

Same as mine bruv

[@placeholder7753]

welp i tried everything b4 already and tried every single port along with direct cpu connection through monitor and it seems like a pc issue with mono audio or something but even with that enabled it just puts two ears sound into one and the other is still unfunctional. i contacted both gigabyte and skytech but no response and the only workaround is usng bluetooth earbuds....

[@placeholder7753]

i redid my drivers using gigabytes, tried getting realtek console to work, did the sound video and game controller audio section both manually, uininstalled, and autoed. ive even plugged my headset into a mic (and yes the headset works i checked and i also tried like 5 other different ones) and it gave me one side what is this, is my pc bios or sometjhing fucked

[@jazzdd]

My headphone just fixed itself when i clicked on this video, very effective.

[@TropicalTech]

Haha at least it’s sorted now!

[@jazzdd]

[@playerunknown7112]

thank you !!! i spent 2 hour looking for a fix (it wasn t plugged in)

[@j-hopessprite4768]

i just fixed mine and it wasnt plugged in as well HELP

[@nzgokiwi]

My headset has a weird level/balance problem for some reason and your video helped me to find it. I doubled the level on the left to get equal sound on both sides. Great! Thank you.

[@rsearchtim]

The balance trick worked for me. I did see forums online, but I didn't notice the balance button and it's plain as day right there. Thanks for the video.

[@andrew.l.5493]

Thank you so much. It was the balance setting but I don't understand how it would've changed as I had not made any adjustments in the past.

[@privatescorp]

same thing happend to me it adjusted itself somehow :p

[@snoww_0577]

Thanks bro this actually helped me, the check headphone balance method fixed mine

[@lmao-rf3ks]

Bro i swear thank u so much i have been struggling with this for a week

[@MikeCoxlong_NOR]

2:23 Fixed my problem. One side had changes to a lower level for some reason. Thanks a lot

[@ashtonalexander791]

OH MY GOSH. You actually fixed it, thank you so much for fixing this problem, I am ever grateful.

Oh my god, thank you so much, I was hearing much less on the left side, and the balance thing fixed it! Thanks for making my life easier!

[@MrM4ds3n]

This help me instantly. My problem was the balance my left was 9 And right was 25. Thank you

[@TropicalTech]

Glad that fixed it, thanks for watching!

[@PlanetMars2030]

It worked for me! I unplugged the headset and plugged the cord back in. Thanks!

[@nijj1028]

for me the sound only comes out of 1 ear and when i turn my head to an angle then the audio comes out both sides

[@TropicalTech]

That sounds like a faulty wire or connection within the headphones. Are you able to test them on a different device?

[@kusyess]

Thank you so much you fixed my problem it was something wrong with the balance!

[@st1n]

ive got a functional earphone that works on other devices, but only works on left ear if i connect in on my laptop. any other methods u think will work? other than the video

[@Nietzschefan333]

this is happening to me as well wtf

[@L1Mystical]

your a bloody lifesaver for some reason my right headphone was on 3 and it was driving me nuts

[@longnguyenvu]

Thank you a lot, it's help me too much

[@MP_51]

Omg ty so much, I was actually about to go nuts but u saved me. My issue was headphone balance.

[@pmv.a.l]

Thank you it helped me a lot i don't know why one side was 6 and the other 30 .

[@kokeeyousef4331]

Thank you so much! you helped me fix my headphones that i got recently. uninstalling the driver fixed it

[@kokeeyousef4331]

but now i feel like the headphone that was broken is louder than the other

[@TropicalTech]

You could adjust the balance by a small amount to correct for it

[@duckdimi]

i have windows 11 and in my copntrol pannel and sound and then headset, when i click levels there isnt a button for balance what do i do

[@delusional3]

did u ever find out how to fix it bc i got the same issue

[@theweakgamer]

Thank you sooooo much

[@mohsenalbakri2875]

thank you so much that helps a lot keep going👋

[@jordeli13]

nothing didnt work. My headphones are useless

[@IBeeProfin]

dude i cannot thank you enough. Been through logitechs garbage support and bought a new set of headphones. This was weeks of suffering through these horrible forums of advice. THe balancing apparently shifts to 100:49 L/R ear respectively when you install new drivers on the logi g733s. Thank you so much again

[@TropicalTech]

You're welcome, glad this was able to help!

[@cavriaaa]

I've tried almost all of the methods I've seen but I still can't get my headphones to work, but its weird though, if I rotate my head a certain way, the audio comes out of both of the sides, or if I angle the cable a certain way it works like that, but when I stop doing it, the other side stops working.. does anyone have any idea what the problem is??

[@TropicalTech]

That sounds like a faulty or broken cable

[@jersey.byfred]

My Headphones are connected into the headset jack at the front of my computer and its only in my left ear, but if i tinker it and pull it towards me it goes in both ears but if i let go it goes back to my left ear, its weird and it was on my friends pc aswell so i dont think its a damage thing. U got any advice?

[@juicyjuice2juicyjuice222]

It is a damage thing unfortunate for you.

[@jersey.byfred]

na because i literally just got a new pc with headphones and it still doesnt work. new headphones aswell. @@juicyjuice2juicyjuice222

[@2amFado]

@@juicyjuice2juicyjuice222not true mine does same thing but I plug my headphones into anything else and they work fine

[@juicyjuice2juicyjuice222]

@@2amFado then it’s likely some sort of damage to your audio jack on whatever it is that you were originally plugging it in to. However, I could be mistaken, and it could just be some funky malfunction of your audio settings that can be adjusted directly through your PC or Console.

when i press the cable hard into the headphones i can hear both sides but when i stop applying preasure it stops working

Are you able to try them on another device? That could be a faulty connector or port.

[@sheluv_CCJ]

if anybody is seeing this rn, what i did n what i realized with a lot of logitech headphones, turn the wires that connect the headset to the system until you hear from both sides it has to be in a specific side to get both sides to hear

[@dam_yk]

Thank you! I just had to disable the headphones

[@ZENMC-y3j]

hey man look idk if my headset are broken or just glitching my left side of the headset isnt working and when i move a wire or a wire next to the mic it suddenly works

That does unfortunately sound like a faulty/broken wire or port

My right earphone stopped working, after troubleshooting nothing fixed it so I thought it was broken and bought new ones.

same problem

[@gusten113]

2:29 | On this part, the balance thing is not showing for me. It just shows the headphones meter and how high it is.

[@TropicalTech]

Some devices might not show that option, you could try another port or check for driver updates

[@chango2194]

hi, in 1:42 i tested the headphones and i hear a little noise coming for my left ear (the broken one) but when i tried checking the sounds in another form, it didn't sound. :c

[@TropicalTech]

The best thing to do would be to try your headphones on another device, maybe on your phone or another PC/laptop to see if the problem is the same there.

one of my headphone sides doesnt work when its normally on my head but when I bend it upwards it starts working? but I cant use both when one is bend upwards

It sounds like it could be a loose connection within the headphones

[@Avoruss]

When I click test I can barerly hear the first sound in the right headphone and then the 2nd sound I can hear fully in the right headphone. Why is that?

[@zac4377]

help i can still only hear out of the left after trying all methods the headphones work fine on my phone and the troubleshooter says its all working fine yet i can only hear out of the left side

[@TropicalTech]

Which connection type are you using? e.g round wire, USB, Bluetooth etc

[@zac4377]

@TropicalTech using a 3.5mm jack... Might be a problem with the socket itself cuz I've found it works with the wire halfway plugged in... Thankyou for responding after a year lmao!

[@TropicalTech]

You need to just unplug them and connect them again - and then scan for hardware changes. If they aren’t working after that then it was probably the headphones themselves that have a hardware issue

@@TropicalTech dont do me like that🥲

It’s by far the most common cause to the problem you stated, a lot of people realise it in the comments, that’s why it’s a good place to start. No point looking through more complex solutions if it was that all along!
