Question

When I'm working with headphones on, the audio preview only works in my right ear

I'd like to be able to hear the preview in my left earbud, too. That would be convenient and less stressful. Working with two audio channels is much more convenient—where is this hidden option? Why hasn't this been made publicly available yet? P.S. Please don't tell me about headphones, cache, or updates.

    To help us diagnose the problem, can you please share a screenshot of your timeline with Audio Meters and waveforms displayed.

    I work with headphones, hear both sides ever since Premiere 6.5.

    Might want to check windows setting or update audio driver.

    As you have all kind of issues most of us cannot reproduce I suggest you have a good hard look at your computer configuration.

    Maybe we just need to make the functionality WORK PROPERLY? Here are my settings. I don't have these kinds of problems in Davinci; my devices and updates have nothing to do with it here.
