A Simple Tool that Addresses an Audio Bug in macOS

Balance Lock is a tool that balances the orientation of your audio. If you listen to songs on your headphones and notice the audio drifting between the left and right ear cups unnaturally, this tool would help rectify that.

Simple to Use

This easy-to-use, utilitarian tool ensures the audio coming out of your headphones stays centered when you plug and unplug the headphones. The tool runs quietly in the background doing its work so that you can listen to your audio in peace. In case you aren’t aware, switching audio output on macOS could lead to the audio balancing slider moving away from the center. People who face this issue can be seen moving the slider to the center time and again. Balance Lock saves the time and effort needed to move the slider manually.

Working Mechanism

As aforementioned, Balance Lock locks the audio balance to center. Whenever macOS’ audio settings shift the balance off center, this tool reverts it. And it does this every time the balance shifts – be it once every week, every day, or every few hours. To let you know of the shift in balance and that it has made the change, the tool pops up a notification. This gives you a brief idea about how often macOS messes with your stereo balance settings. You may turn off these notifications if you’d like to, by the way.
