    Sound moves to left speaker in games


    I have been having this crazy little problem with my sound.
    i have gigabyte z390 MB with Realtek on board sound with the updated drivers from the gigabute website.

    when i set my sound in windows or the realtek audio console to 5.1 and test it it all seems fine
    left , right , center , Rrear ,Lrear and sub all make sound as they should from the corect speaker.

    but when i play games or watch video on chrome it seems like all the sound moves over to the left speaker.
    it almost sounds like anything outside of windows itseld defaults to 2.0

    there is sound in both left and right speakers but the left is much louder then the right (in games /browser)

    a 5.1 test on youtube says

    Left (left speaker)
    Center (left speaker)
    right (right speaker low)
    RR (Right speaker low)
    LR (left speaker)
    Sub (nothing)

    like i said like a busted 2.0 system
    please help !

    :)

    Move audio to one side for speakers but not headphones

    Hello J1mmyth3F1sh,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    • Is your headphones getting detected in the Playback settings?
    • Are you trying to play the audio on both Speakers and Headphones at the same time?

    Ideally, if you have configured Sound settings to play on your left speakers, the same goes with the headphones. The sound starts playing only on the left side of your headphones according to the settings changed.

    Meanwhile, we can try configuring the headphones and change the balance level in the sound settings and see if it works. Kindly check with the steps listed below and see if it helps.

    Method : Run audio test for your headphones.

    • Open Control Panel from the Start menu and click on
      Sound.
    • In the Sound window, click on your
      Headphones and select Configure option at the bottom left.
    • By running the test, check if both sides of your headphones are working fine.

    If that doesn’t help, I would suggest you to check with the audio balance by following the steps listed below:

    • Open Sound settings from
      Control Panel,
      and right click on the Headphones to open its
      Properties.
    • Click on Levels tab and select
      Balance
      button. In the Balance window, you can use the slider to balance both left and right headphones equally.

    However, I commend and appreciate you for recognizing this behavior. This is a valuable suggestion as there may be other users with a similar requirement. Hence, I suggest you to leave a
    Feedback for this product so
    that our developer team can look into this and check if it can be implemented in the future updates.

    Regards,

    Mala S

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue Sound moves to left speaker in games :p
