My left air-pod is not working when connected to mac book air

Hi CabbageAndCat,

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We're happy to help with your AirPods issue. As we understand it, you're not hearing anything from your left AirPod when you use it with your Mac. Is that right?

To double-check, does the left AirPod work with other devices like an iPhone?

If it does, it might help to check sound settings on your Mac. With the AirPods connected, click Apple menu () > System Preferences > Sound > Output, and make sure the audio balance slider is set to the middle. Does that help?

If not, or if the same thing is happening with other devices also, try these steps next: If your left or right AirPod isn't working

Keep us posted on how it goes.

Have a good one.

Hello CabbageAndCat,

That's great to hear! Thanks for letting us know.

Take care.
