Windows 10: There's no way to balance left and right volume on Windows 11

Yes, I've already tried going to the control panel, sound settings, then properties.... but there is no balance button for me. There also isn't anything on the Windows settings. One side is louder than the other and the experience is horrible.^no

Left/Right system volume balance problem

Hello, welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Based on your feedback, you are experiencing an issue where you cannot adjust the left and right channels of your Bluetooth headphones simultaneously.

Have you ever tried to do this operation on your computer before?

Sorry, the Windows operating system itself does not have the function and settings to independently adjust the volume of the left and right ear of Bluetooth headphones. Some Bluetooth headphone devices or corresponding driver support may have options to adjust the balance of the left and right channels of Bluetooth headphones, which can replace some of the functions of adjusting the volume of the left and right earphones, but it is not perfect.

The function of adjusting the volume of the left and right ears of Bluetooth headphones separately belongs to the Bluetooth device itself, and we are not very familiar with it, so we cannot provide you with accurate help.

We suggest that you consult the official technical support of the Bluetooth device to understand relevant information and see if it can be achieved.

Also, regarding the idea of setting the volume of the left and right ears of Bluetooth headphones, you can submit it in the Windows Feedback Center, hoping that Microsoft can include and adopt it.

Hope the information above can help you. If you have any questions or other problems, feel free to reply to this post.

Left/Right system volume balance problem

I connected a new Bluetooth earphone and when I try to increase the left channel audio a little more from the settings, the right slider also moves along with it as if both of them are tied together (that's not the case for the built-in-laptop speakers). In the phone, there is an audio balance feature and working fine with the earphone but facing problem only in Windows 11. My headphone is set to stereo mode and working as stereo only the volume adjustment is causing problem.

 

Left/Right balance in Windows 10 resets with volume changes.

Hi Cedeeh,

I think you may be overlooking the point of the issue, which is that Windows 10 does not persist volume balance adjustments. When the system reboots balance levels for sound devices are reset to equal volume in left and right channels,
which is really inconvenient for users who need to correct for speaker placement asymmetry.
