Voice Over (VO) recording not playing back from both speakers--fix / solution

[karlm86030498]

Does this sound familiar?

System Specs:

• Windows 7
• PP CC 2018

Issue:

• PP VO recording will periodically not record or play back from both speakers.
• I don't care if the VO is in stereo or mono; I just want it to  playback from both sides of my headset.

Fix:

1. Track Output Channel Assignments:
2. Either with or without a test recording currently in the timeline, right-click over the VO microphone icon to the left of that track
3. Select "Track Output Channel Assignments"
4. Enter an additional check mark in whatever Master Track Chanel box (boxes?) lacks a check mark. In my case it was Ch 2.
5. Click: OK
6. Replay the track to see if it replays from both speakers
7. In my case, checking one or all boxes fixed the issue
8. If you cannot do this without a current VO in the timeline, then record one and then repeat the previous steps.

More Questions?

• If this fix doesn't work for you then I cannot help you; ask someone else.

That could be why you're having difficulty.  Pro's care, and do it right.
