Wireless headphones problems on macbook air

Recently, I can only hear sound from the left side of my HyperX Cloud 2 Wireless when it’s connected to my MacBook Air via the 2.4GHz receiver. However, the headphones work perfectly on my PC, and other Bluetooth headphones also work fine with my MacBook.

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 26

Re: "Wireless headphones problems on macbook air :Recently, I can only hear sound from the left side"

On MacBook Air:

You may want to check : Apple Menu > System Settings > Sound > Output

Check the balance slider ... usually needs to be in the middle

If already set in the middle: try moving the slider back and forth a few times.

Feel free to let us know if you still need assistance.
