    Is there still no way to balance the left/right audio on xbox?


    I have hearing loss in one ear and there is no way to balance the audio on Xbox. There isn't a mixer that can do this without having to use a headset with no microphone. Is it that hard to just include a balance slider for users with hearing problems? I've searched every now and then for years and still there's no solution.

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues with the audio on the Xbox.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    To set your expectations properly, Xbox still does not have a built-in feature to adjust the left/right audio balance directly on the console. This has been a long-standing request from users, especially those with hearing impairments.

    That is truly a fantastic suggestion!

    It is really cool to see hearing impaired that can manage the audio on the Xbox as per their needs.

    To submit this bright idea/suggestion, please be guided with the steps below:

    Please go to Xbox Ideas Hub:

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Xbox One Left/Right audio balance is reversed

    Just swap the two phono input plugs around on the soundbar, problem solved.

    My xbox headset chat isn't working

    Alright. Be sure the headset volume isn't turned all the way down. The dial on the outside of the left earcup adjusts the audio balance between game and chat audio. Be sure the dial isn't rotated completely in one direction, as this will effectively mute either game or chat audio.

    Headphone right/left audio balance on Series X/S

    Hello Celyn! I'm Kris and I'd be happy to help you with your question.

    As far as I am aware, there is no way to adjust the left/right balance at the moment. This could be a feature that is implemented in the future.

    headset with jack 3.5

    Hello bricelecart,

    You play on your Xbox One? if so, do this :

    Guide Button - System - Audio - Headset Chat Mixer

    All the way to the left to only hear game audio, all the way to the right to only hear party audio. The middle notches are to mix it, so you can get a good game/party ratio that suits you.
