I recently came across a video online that had all the audio on the left channel. It was a recording of a talk, and having the speaker’s voice coming out of only the left speaker was very distracting.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, there’s a quick way to fix this. Macs and recent versions of Windows have an accessibility feature that combines stereo audio into a single mono channel (which is then distributed equally to both of your speakers).<\/p>\n
On a Mac open System Preferences<\/strong>, choose Accessibility<\/strong>, select Audio<\/strong> from the list on the left, then check the Play stereo audio as mono<\/strong> box.<\/p>\n On Windows 10 press Windows Key<\/kbd> + U<\/kbd> to bring up the Ease of Access Settings<\/em>, click on Other Options<\/strong>, then turn on the Mono Audio<\/strong> setting.<\/p>\n After enabling this setting, you can concentrate on what matters. Just remember to turn it off when you’re done!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ever come across some audio or video online where all the sound is coming out of only one speaker?
