New Sequence Audio Balance Fix

Since the most recent update, I've been dealing with a frustrating issue with audio tracks.

When I create a new sequence, by default, Audio Track 1, A1, plays only on the left channel/speaker/headphone, Audio Track 2, A2, plays out of the right channel. 

I have to go to Window>AudioTrackMixer>Sequence to open the Audio Track Mixer panel, and then manually change each track balance to 0. 

I don't know why this change would occur, i did not shift any settings and went in and tried to find a way to change the default to a balance between L and R for each track but I cannot do it.

HELP PLEASE.

Thanks yall
