Audio on USB connected Corsair Headphones are balanced heavily to the right.

Post by linuxnoob420 »

Hello everyone, relatively new to linux over the last 2 months with almost no trouble. However, today when I started up and put my headphones on to talk to my friends in Discord I noticed that all of my audio on the headphones are balanced to the right. When I check "sounds" the balance for that device is set to the middle and in the past I have actually noticed that bar shifted to the left without me touching it. That's what I thought it was this time so I sent to check the balance in "sounds" but it is in the middle. When I switch to my desktop speakers, there is no trouble with the balance. Another thing I noticed is that my Bose bluetooth earbuds won't connect and a number of my devices are duplicated in "sounds" and my bluetooth device list. I googled the issue and haven't found anything exactly the same, but I did see someone with a somewhat similar problem and I saw the person that helped them asked for 2 lines and printouts from the command line. I will jump to the point and provide those now before someone has to waste the time to ask me to do it.
