Windows 10: Headphone sound left-right imbalance bass only

For the past month or two, the bass in my headphones has been louder in the right side than the left side. The overall volume is balanced just fine, the problem is just the bass.


I'm in Windows 10. My OS and drivers are up to date. There are no audio enhancements on, and turning them on does not solve the problem. I just bought a new pair of earbuds and the problem persists. The sound is fine on other devices.


Is there a way for me to manually adjust the bass, treble, etc. for the left and right sides individually?

No bass in sound when headphones are used

Am not getting bass in the sound of my headphones on my hp i5 desktop. Previously they were working normally. Even when Itry with different headphones there is still no bass, I have tried all different settings and restarting but no success

My left headphone randomly lowers it's volume.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.

• What is the make and model of the headphone?
  

This could be due to the change in Balance levels of the playback device. I suggest you to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Right click the sound icon on the taskbar and choose
  Sounds.
  
• Select your headphone, and click on Properties.
  
• Click on Balance under Levels
  tab, adjust Left and Right to the same levels.
  
• Save the changes and check if the issue persists.

Hope it helps.
