One Earbud Not Working on Windows: Left/Right Channel Fix

Fix single-sided audio by checking balance settings, mono mode, and device reset.

If audio only comes from one side:

  1. Go to Settings > System > Sound > Output > Device properties.
  2. Check Left/Right balance and set both to 100.
  3. Disable Mono audio in accessibility sound settings.
  4. Reconnect the earbuds and test with another app.
  5. Test the earbuds on a phone to rule out hardware failure.

If one side still has no sound on all devices, the earbud may need replacement.
