What can this audio test check?
Use this page as a quick headphone test, headset test, stereo channel test, or speaker test. It can help you confirm whether your left and right audio channels are working before a call, meeting, game, or recording session.
Make sure the headset is worn correctly and check whether your operating system or audio software is swapping channels.
Check balance settings and try another device. Debris, cable wear, or a failing driver can also reduce one side.
