Windows 10: How to adjust balance on headphones?

I’m trying to adjust the balance on my headphones by turning the volume down to 0 on the right speaker only. But every time i adjust it moves the volume for both speakers. It’s like it’s locked. How do I unlock ?

I can't adjust sound balance for my bluetooth headphones

I have a minor hearing issue, and my hearing is a bit worse on one ear than on the other one, so I always have to adjust sound balance to be comfortable. The problem with balance actually occured around 1.5 years ago and nothing
I found on the internet helped, so I gave up and switched to my other headphones. Now that I have no such opportunity the problem is present again.

I have windows 10.0.19041, no updates available. My headphones are Philips SHB3075 and I'm fairly sure they're not the problem since a) I used to be able to adjust the sound balance before updating my windows that one time 1.5 years
ago and b) my phone still allows me to change sound balance.

What are the steps I should take to fix the issue and is it possible at all?

 

How to adjust left-right balance for headphones connected to pc with bluetooth

I have a pair of Bose qc35II headphones and I can connect them to my Windows 10 box via bluetooth.

When connected via bluetooth, if I try to correct the left-right balance by pressing the "Balance" button on the Levels tab of the Headphones Properties

the two sliders are locked together and moving one moves the other.

This problem does not happen when I connect the headphones to my PC with a wire.

It also does not happen when I connect the headphones to my cellphone via bluetooth.

Any suggestion about how I can adjust the right and left volumes when connected via bluetooth to my Windows 10 computer?

 

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.
