If only one channel is muted, it's usually a setting issue within the app or device you're using. To resolve this, first, check the app's audio settings to ensure that no specific channel is set to mute or lower volume. If that doesn't work, inspect your device's audio balance to make sure it's evenly distributed between left and right channels. Adjusting these settings usually addresses the issue quickly.
