AirPods audio balance resets automatically on macOS.

Hi,


I have a hearing issue that requires me to manually calibrate the audio balance between the left and right channels in order to hear correctly through my AirPods.


Unfortunately, there's a bug on macOS where the audio balance or volume leveling keeps resetting automatically. It seems to randomly revert to center, especially after reconnecting the AirPods or rebooting the Mac.


This makes it really difficult to use my AirPods properly, as I constantly need to readjust the settings just to get balanced sound.


Is anyone else dealing with this? Any idea if Apple is aware of the issue?


Thanks.



MacBook Air 13″, macOS 15.6
