Left and Right Audio Balance Plexamp

Hello,
I am a music lover and listen to music mainly through my headphones. I only hear better on the right than the left, so I am always looking for systems that compensate for my hearing problem. (Unfortunately there’s no hardware/software option on my equipment :wink:

However, as far as I know there is no volume balance in Plexamp to do this. I would love to see this added in the future.

Thx, Martin

Things like this should be compensated on the operating system level. Otherwise you’d need a balance fader in every single app. Which doesn’t make much sense.
Most operating systems already provide a balance fader.

On Windows, you’ll find this in the properties of your audio interface.
Android and iOS also provide one in the operating assistance/accessibility settings.
I’m sure other operating system have a similar system-wide setting.

Thanks Otto,

I’m aware of system-wide settings, but these are not available. PLEX is running on my Synology NAS and I’m streaming to a headless plexamp on a Pi Zero2W. The usb output of the Pi goes to my AUNE dac/amp combo.

In other server softeware like Roon or Logitech Media Server, the feature of balancing left and right is available. I would like to use Plex as the only media server in the house (and on my server). The missing “balance” feature keeps me from using Plexamp.

The balance is a setting of the client.
That Plex server is running on your NAS doesn’t matter at all.

Headless Plexamp is running on Linux. There certainly should be a way on Linux to do this.
I will ask around how to achieve this.

Thanks, there are several ways to do this in linux/raspberryOS using ALSA, but depents on the sound card that is used if this is possible. AFAIK this is not an option for USB devices, hence my feature request :wink:
