Audition Audio Only Playing Through Left Side of Bose Headphones

When I listen to audio track in Audition 2020, the audio only comes through the left side of headphones.

  • YES - Bose works fine with everything else (Premier / Internet / Destop / my phone / etc.)
  • YES - Default Output in Audition is set to Bose QC35 II
  • YES - Audio IS stereo with 2 channels at equal levels
  • YES - Audio having the same problem with other headphones
  • YES - Exported audio from Audition plays fine in both sides (problem limited to editing)
  • YES - I've tried holding down Shift while starting up Audition
  • YES - I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Audition

 

This is a relatively new problem... In ten years, I've never had this issue.... I really don't think it's the headphones or my system preferences.... I really believe there's a bug in Audition. 

I even tried opening old audition projects (same issue) I tried opening the audio files in older versions of Audion and was still having the issue.... 😞

I had this problem and there does appear to be a bug. One session file worked fine using the same audio sources but another session file didn't. I created a third session, re-imported the same audio sources, and the problem goes away. I kept the original session that doesn't work in case Adobe would be interested in looking at it to see if it's something I did or to fix a bug.

That doesn't sound like a bug, but it does sound like a corrupted session file. And they are not exactly unknown...

Steve, you clearly have no idea what you're doing. Stop chatting.

"I tried opening the audio files in older versions of Audion and was still having the issue..."

 

Well, if it was a bug in Audition, loads of people would have reported that over the years, wouldn't they? And you said that you haven't had this issue in the past, but now you are with older versions? Doesn't add up as an Audition bug yet, I'm afraid...

 

Really, you haven't told us enough about what you're doing yet. Is this restricted to Waveform view? Or does it happen in Multitrack as well? Come to that, Mac or PC? Can you show us at least a screengrab of your hardware setup page as well?

I am having a similar issue. Never had it prior to CC2019 that I remember. Using bluetooth headphones or iPhone earbuds, the audio is playing back only in the left ear. The waveform is stereo. I tried it in waveform and multitrack and had the same result. It will not play back on the right ear. MacOS 10.14.6. The level meters are lit up for both channels, the sound is both channels and yet it is only in the left ear for playback. At the desktop level the sound plays back fine. I tried creating new audio files 44.1/16 and 48/32f thinking it may be tied to that. Nope. It is only playing back in the left ear. Audition build 12.1.3.10

After I posted this I saw another thread with the solution. I needed to go into the preference-audio channel mapping and reset the right channel to my headphone right channel. Easy fix, but annoying that it happened. I have had it occur a few times now so I wonder if there is a bug/quirk.
