Audio on wrong side of headphones

Also I think this happens on all games/sounds

Hello NateLorenz, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

First of all Make sure the headphones are connected correctly, Check that the headphones are fully plugged into the corresponding port on your device. Make sure they are connected securely and there are no loose connections.

Check audio settings, Check the audio settings on your device and on the specific games or apps you are using. Make sure the volume is set correctly and the audio balance is not shifted to one side.

If the problem persists Try the headphones on another device Connect your headphones to another device, such as a mobile phone or a different computer, to see if the problem persists. This will help you determine if the problem is related to your headphones or the device you are using them on.

Best regards.

Are you playing on a Xbox console?

If so, go to the audio settings in the console settings and set up the console audio to output game audio via headset.

In the headphone settings you can also set up spatial 3D audio, by turning the audio output for headphones to Windows Sonic, or if you have purchased the Atmos App (the free app only works 14 days with headphones), you can also set Dolby Atmos for headphones.

If you are on the PC, you need to make the headphone your device for audio output (not only voice communications).

Click on the speaker icon in the lower right, and choose the output channel for the headphone. Depending on your soundcard or USB headset, you need to select the proper audio output.

Hmm... that is a possibility.... I have a pair of Tritton headphones myself, and I'm wondering (again, this might not be your issue, but it's worth a check) on MY unit, the little box where the audio cable plugs in (the cable that goes to the chat adapter)
has two volume wheels on it (this picture here:

This is consistent with the AX720 and 720+ models, but I'm not sure about the setup of your headphones. If you have one of these little controllers, one side is for game audio, and the other side is for chat audio. Could it be possible that the chat/voice
volume side has gotten cranked down all the way, so that even though the chat adapter is adjusted properly, the actual headphones have been turned down/muted? This would result in the behavior you're describing - the game volume is there, the chat audio is
muted, and no beeps are heard from the buttons, etc.

Just throwing some ideas out there, sorry if this doesn't help! I would suggest, if this doesn't help, you might also try your adapter using a different controller (at a friend's house or something.) If the adapter doesn't work again, then it definitely sounds
like a bad adapter.

Almost any pair of headphones or earbuds, when plugged into the controller (via the controller's built-in headphone jack or stereo adapter), should play game audio.

If you don't hear anything, have you checked the headset volume in the Xbox guide menu on the side? When plugged in, double-tap the Guide button and scroll down to the "Settings" icon. You should see some volume sliders. "Headset volume" is game audio.

In some rarer circumstances, certain headphones and headsets will simply not work depending on the headphone jack standard they use.
