[@L1Mystical]

your a bloody lifesaver for some reason my right headphone was on 3 and it was driving me nuts

[@IBeeProfin]

dude i cannot thank you enough. Been through logitechs garbage support and bought a new set of headphones. This was weeks of suffering through these horrible forums of advice. THe balancing apparently shifts to 100:49 L/R ear respectively when you install new drivers on the logi g733s. Thank you so much again

[@TropicalTech]

You're welcome, glad this was able to help!

[@nijj1028]

for me the sound only comes out of 1 ear and when i turn my head to an angle then the audio comes out both sides

[@TropicalTech]

That sounds like a faulty wire or connection within the headphones. Are you able to test them on a different device?

[@vubz0]

the balence worked for me thank you

[@damian3694]

Thank you! I just had to disable the headphones

[@Reign_The_Fool]

fixed my problem, thanks

[@antonm.5340]

bro can you help me please, a see that many of people have managed to fix this by balancig headphones but i dont have that option to balance it, i can only manage the sound of headphones and that is it...

[@T1r3d]

bro you saved my life my headphones were not balanced

[@mulm8i976]

ty broo

[@Q8CRAZY8Q]

balance fixed my hyperx headset, ty so much

[@TropicalTech]

You’re welcome, glad this helped!

[@Avoruss]

When I click test I can barerly hear the first sound in the right headphone and then the 2nd sound I can hear fully in the right headphone. Why is that?

[@st1n]

ive got a functional earphone that works on other devices, but only works on left ear if i connect in on my laptop. any other methods u think will work? other than the video

[@Nietzschefan333]

this is happening to me as well wtf

[@cavriaaa]

I've tried almost all of the methods I've seen but I still can't get my headphones to work, but its weird though, if I rotate my head a certain way, the audio comes out of both of the sides, or if I angle the cable a certain way it works like that, but when I stop doing it, the other side stops working.. does anyone have any idea what the problem is??

[@TropicalTech]

That sounds like a faulty or broken cable

[@jazzdd]

My headphone just fixed itself when i clicked on this video, very effective.

[@TropicalTech]

Haha at least it’s sorted now!

[@jazzdd]

❤❤

[@ensee2065]

My right earphone stopped working, after troubleshooting nothing fixed it so I thought it was broken and bought new ones. After plugging in the new ones they have the same issue, the right one does not work. I have tried everything I could find online to fix it but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

[@nachL_]

same problem

[@ensee2065]

@@nachL_ What actually happened was that both of them were broken in the same way, which was a crazy coincidence. The old ones broke and the second pair I got was broken in the same exact way. The third pair I got works :D

[@alills]

thanks alot bud helped me out alot😁

[@BlueFoxBlueFox-yq8je]

I was just watching this vid and it just fixed the problem by itself i didnt even do anything

[@landenwebb5261]

Thank you!

[@TropicalTech]

You're welcome, thanks for watching!

[@placeholder7753]

welp i tried everything b4 already and tried every single port along with direct cpu connection through monitor and it seems like a pc issue with mono audio or something but even with that enabled it just puts two ears sound into one and the other is still unfunctional. i contacted both gigabyte and skytech but no response and the only workaround is usng bluetooth earbuds....

[@placeholder7753]

i redid my drivers using gigabytes, tried getting realtek console to work, did the sound video and game controller audio section both manually, uininstalled, and autoed. ive even plugged my headset into a mic (and yes the headset works i checked and i also tried like 5 other different ones) and it gave me one side
what is this, is my pc bios or sometjhing fucked

[@kitzuai2137]

why i hear the audio that was supposted to be on left side and i hear it on the right

[@raphmz]

Thanks for the help. I have a brand new Logitech G 733 wireless, used for the 1st day and amazing sound, on the 2nd day, I used to play some games and as soon as I paused the game to go into the bathroom and came back, the right side had just stopped, with no reason... made many tests, restarting pc, disconnecting hp etc... when I crossed your video and checked the BALANCE, it was 80x30... wt???? Why it would change the balance without even going in that settings. Well the important thing, I put it together and it worked! THANKS FOR THAT. I was already opening a complaint issue on Logitech to have it changed and maybe I would still have the same problem!

[@TropicalTech]

Glad this helped, it’s certainly strange that it changed on its own. The only thing I can think of would be if the balance is affected by a button/wheel on the headset itself? That or the game/app caused it to change

[@forgetsavage7835]

Literally the exact same thing happened to me same headset and. Everything

[@thangamer5026]

bro I just pushed the jack in a bit more and it worked

[@DizzyCooperSarrosong]

ok so i dont have the balance option what do i do to fix this? it worked fin with my old laptop that recently bricked on me and works fine with my ps4 but on this new laptop with win 11 i only get sound on one side and theres no balance option like you showed

[@simrexfrandsen7491]

me 2

[@IakovosLOUlakous]

there is no balance button for me. how do i fix it?

[@megatsoxsyt7902]

when i press the cable hard into the headphones i can hear both sides but when i stop applying preasure it stops working

[@TropicalTech]

Are you able to try them on another device? That could be a faulty connector or port.

[@user-cl2mi7no5q]

what if i dont have the "balance" option in that window?... (im on windows 10)

[@WhoAmIToCareAbtUsername]

but what for broken / dismantled parts into the headphones ? I have opened my headphones before searching for any video related to that but I cannot see anything that can help somehow I only see a yellow plastic bar and something like a ring magnet into another kind of circle magnet that out of the place that is supposed to be... I am so damn confused

[@hanhan4653]

thanks i havent open my laptop for 6 mnth thaanksss

[@user-mq5dr1jh5t]

hi. my headphones only work equally when the jack is pulled out but not plugged IN. i've tried cleaning the ''hole out with a Qtip and alcohol but they still dont work and there is no evidence of dust inside

[@user-mq5dr1jh5t]

ps i've tried all my headphones and they all dont work equally

[@saukitchenuk7809]

OK nice
