    My left speaker seems to be much quieter then the right speaker. It used to be normal. Anything I can do to test to see if it's just me or not? If it was close it would be alright. I have music. In windows I put it to the left and to the right speakers and the right is much louder.

    But some music might be made to play more on the right speaker so I am unsure.

    System Preferences>Sound>Output, there you can change the settings for sound balance, and at the same time test the sound output for each speaker by dragging the slider to the end corresponding to the speaker.
