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 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.

Thanks for the fix! I had the same issue. It wasn't a major one, but it starts to bother you at some point. Thanks a lot 🙂

I am having the same issue, although it was working fine until now. Audio is recorded on both channels, but I can only hear on left side of my headphones.  I don't know what you mean by resetting headphone to right channel.  Could someone please explain?  I went into channel mapping, but don't know what to do from there.  Driving me nuts!

I have attached a picture. After you select channel mapping, you then click the channel that is missing audio, click on the right arrow and select the missing missing speaker.Screen Shot 2020-08-20 at 9.24.00 AM.png

The problem with that fix is that the right channel was not set to none it was set to Right Channel. I am

using Zoom L-8 mixer with Adobe. It actually worked fine until about a month ago. Not sure what happened but nothing is working to fix it. Also when I record a guest, that guest is on two channels but my voice is on one. Something is messed up.

Thanks @the_ARTboy! Your fix totally worked. Obviously, if the system is randomly changing stuff, that's a bug.

(No thanks to @SteveG_AudioMasters_ who didn't read your post, and clearly has no clue.)

Thank you so much! I was having this problem with my default speakers; I have no idea what caused the right channel to unmap and didn't know what was going on.

Same with me. Its really doesn't have anything to do with my settings. It's just not good in the program.

I had the exact same issue. Thanks to the_ARTboy for posting the fix!

 

This is definitely a bug and should be addressed by Adobe. I think it's a bit disrespectfull to tell the first one who reports a bug and adds this many details that it can't be a bug because no one reported it before and that it's missing detailed information. Instead of putting them in a defensive position, how about politely asking for more information?

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...
