Xbox One Left/Right audio balance is reversed

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

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.

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.

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.

Try swapping the channels over, ie, changing the red/white audio plugs around to reverse the channel input.

If the sound then comes from the right earpiece then you know that there is a possible fault/poor connection somewhere.

If the sound still comes from the left then you know that there is a fault with the headset itself.
