Stereo USB headset only using left side (Mavericks)

Hi. I have a Macbook Pro, with Mavericks. Have added a Sennheiser PC 8 USB headset, but it is only playing sound through the left side. Any ideas anyone?
TIA

Have you tried the Sennheiser's on another Mac?  Are you certain that the jack is properly inserted? 
If other earphones work properly, the evidence suggest a problem with the Sennheiser's.
Ciao.

  • When using headphones, only the left side works, HELP?

    When using headphones, only the left side works when plugged into the macbook. I've tried 3 different working pairs of headphones and different media types and nothing seems to fix it. HELP?

    Hi atgoetz,
    Usually this is indicative of a bad headphone jack on the machine end, especially if you've tried three different pairs of known good headphones. Unfortunately there's not much you do to resolve the issue, externally. Considering it's a new machine no sense trying to fix something and making it work. I'd reach out to AppleCare for service on the unit and if it's brand new, possibly arrange a replacement unit.

  • Why is the usb input on the left side ?

    for the love of god, what exactly stood behind the design of putting the usb input on the left side of the laptop ?
    for right handed plugging in their mouse, the cord has to go all the way around to reach the right side.

    There is a port next to the modem connection on the back right side.   You knew that.   wow no big deal.  I thought there were too few USB ports but there are plenty.  How many usb devices does one need to plug in simultaneously?

  • Audio only on left side

    I've seen lots of threads on this and the usual answer is to make sure you click the input as a mono track in order to hear/monitor in both left and right sides in the headphones.  It doesn't seem to work.
    Have Mavericks w/all updates and gargeband 10.0.1
    I have a Tascam US-144 MKII audio interface.
    Guitar plugged into channel 2 input (instrument input).
    Mono on switch is set to on (turning it off makes no difference.)
    In garageband, I have a guitar track set up.
    In info window... Input is set to Mono channel 2.  I hear the guitar only through the left side.
    Changing this to a stereo input or back to mono does nothing.  I assumed that it being mono I'd at least be able to hear it in stereo through my headphones.
    No?
    If I record like this, will it only record w/a hard pan to the left even though pan level knob is set dead center?

    Problem solved...
    Even though I had everything set up correctly, I was using an incompatible jack adaptor on my phones.  I substitued it for the correct 1/8 to 1/4 adaptor and it sounds great now.

  • Logic won't let me record stereo style! Only the left channel.

    I was recording just fine with my keyboard connected to my TASCAM US-122 USB interface with an instrument cable today then all of the sudden I could only hear the keyboard in the left side of my headphones. I tried the other line-in and then I could only hear myself on the right side. What went wrong here? Keep in mind, it was working just fine but in between takes it cuts one side out. And all of my pan adjustments are equal.

    If you are using a single, jack to jack cable you are effectively recording in mono, on one channel. When you are monitoring your recording signal you will only hear one side because your tascam is only sending it to one logic channel...
    Your tascam has a mono direct monitoring switch - you should switch it on when recording with only one jack to jack cable - it will allow you to monitor directly through the interface whilst hearing your sound on both sides. You should record to a mono logic track and you will then be able to pan it afterwards as desired.
    For a true stereo keyboard recording you would need to connect two jack to jack cables from your keyboard (if it has left and right outputs) into two separate mono channels on your interface. You could then record to a stereo track on logic, or two separate mono tracks panned hard left and right.
    I may be wrong, but I reckon your problem stems from not properly understanding how the stereo field corresponds to recording channels.

  • Why does usb headset only work in one port?

    I have a 2011 macbook pro 17" laptop with 3 USB ports.  My headset only works in 1 of them (on the right side).  Why is this?  (In case it matters: I am using this headset with my computer as  telephone using Google voice/chat.)

  • Headphones stopped working after update, sound only on left side.

    I have a good set of Bose headphones that have worked great for my MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPod. I noticed after I updated the software for my MBP, sound would only come out of the left side of the headphones. I checked for mono vs. stereo, balance, all the other stuff I could find, but had no luck in finding a fix. I gave up and just used the headphones for with my iPhone and iPad...until I updated those to iOS 8.2 and the same problem happened: sound only through the left side. The headphones still work with other non-Apple devices and even with other apple devices not upgraded to the most recent OS.
    Any suggestions on how to fix? Not a fan of my $200+ headphones being useless now just because of a software update.

    Try a NVRAM reset:

  • Printing with In Design CS4 only print left side,why?

    How do I print a document in Design (CS4).  I have a 11x17 document (landscape) and when I send it to print it only print the left side (letter).   It is a newsletter so one 11x17 comprises 2 letter size pages.  I want to print them all but page by page by letter size only so we can proof read. 
    I noticed that in the preview you can see only the half left side is highligthed for printing.   I tried to play around and Icouldn't.
    Do you know why?.
    Also when you send a document for the printing services, do you send in in 11x17 size? or letter size?
    It is a 6 page newsletter.   One 11x17 both side = 4 pages and One insert 8.5 x11 both sides = 2 pages
    Thanks,

    If your page is set up as 11 x 17 and you try to print to letter-size paper yoou'll need to enable tiling to get both sides.
    The correct way to set this file up is as lettersize facing pages (and they should be set in consecutive order, as the reader will see them). Imposition for printing is done at print time. If you are required to provide the imposed spreads (and no printer worth their salt should be asking for this), you can place the pages from the original file into a new 11 x 17 document in the correct order. Your insert will probably also print as 11 x 17, just half as many sheets with two copies per sheet, then get cut apart and inserted.

  • Eden Skin only uses left half of the screen

    Has anyone tried the Eden skip from OTN?  The top menu line looks fine. The second like with Home Catalog Favorites ... looks fine. The lower portion only displays in the left one-half of the screen.  Report Design, Display and Dashboards only use the left half.   Anyone know which css file and what elements to change to make it like the default skin? I am using it with 11.1.1.7.1

    This has happened to mine too, I wish I was notified about a screen replacement program, I did register my iMac too.. I was quotes $900 + labour to replace the 27 inch screen, and my iMac is less than 3 years old. I'm not happy about this, I am going to take it to the Apple Store and see what they can do for me.

  • Recording stereo audio and only getting one side - what gives?

    Recording audio in stereo mode in logic and only getting one side showing on the meter and same side showing on the audio file - I've checked the interface - is there a logic setting I'm missing?

  • Yellowish screen only on left side of iPad

    Has anyone else noticed that the screen is a bit more yellowish on the left side of the screen? It is most apparent when the screen is white. There has to be someone else out there with the same problem, right? So, my question is, how do I fix it? Should i even take it into an apple store? I fear I will be without an iPad for a long time if I do.

    UPDATE:
    I had the same problems with yellow cast on the right-hand side of the screen with the left being noticeably brighter and bluer. I spoke to Apple and they shipped me a replacement because I told them I found it distracting and would have to return it otherwise (I had initiated contact on the issue on day 14). I was sent a replacement and I'm pleased to say the new screen is much better, much more uniform brightness and tint. Holding the two units side by side for comparison it was easy to see the difference in the two screens. I almost didn't bother to return the first one because I noticed similar issues with the store demos, but now I'm glad I did because I can actually read PDFs without distraction. Good luck and kudos to Apple for taking care of their customers after the sale.
    As a side note, I was told by my local store there is some flexibility in the 14-day return rule for the iPad because it's a brand new product and Apple wants to support early adopters.

  • Change color effect only of part of an image, such as only the left side?

    I have an image that is basically a bunch of blue dots.  On a keyframe, I want to change the left side of the image to red dots.  How can I do this?

    Here's another way:
    Apply the effect to an adjustment layer, and create a mask on the adjustment layer to define the area that the effect should affect.
    Since you're new to After Effects, I strongly recommend that you begin here and work your way through the basic learning resources first.

  • Usb driver on the left side near the lan are not working

    The brightness keys are also not working and the usb drives on the left near the lan are not working.

    Hi:
    Did you reinstall the operating system?
    If so, you are probably missing the graphics and USB3 drivers.
    Graphics:
    File name: sp56458.exe
    USB3:  Download and install both of these drivers and reboot.

    If there is a device labeled SMBus Controller in the device manager, this driver should work for that device.

  • Left and right channels of stereo sound coming only from left spea

    The title says it all. I can't figure out what's wrong. I checked all the settings I can think of, but nothing seems out of place. It's not the right channel cutting out, but both channels coming from the left speaker (I used the speaker test feature to confirm this). This just happened out of nowhere when I booted up my pc. Any idea what's wrong?
    *Oh, and this is an Audigy 2 (plain version).Message Edited by Geise on 2-3-2005 : PM

    Did you ever fix this problem? I have the exact same thing happening to my sound.
    All the sound comes from the left in stereo sound. I plugged the green stereo analog speakers into the other pin the blackone for 4. setting on my SBLi've24 allthe others play fron t left back left and back right but the front right is so soft like a whisper.
    So the speakers work. Im running a Xp mediaedition system. It happened after an apparent sound conflict that made an electronic popping sound which got progressi'vely worse until i figured out how to reset the car d in the Bios level. I have done evrything but reformat the hard dri've All tests say the hardware is working but still no front right channel. Help please
