Only my right airpod works with YouTube

I saw someone else ask this, and the answer given didn't fix the issue. It was working perfectly fine till last week. But if I listen to a message or Zoom. both work fine. only with youtube fails and only the left airpod. This is only on my macbook. both are pro.


Help please.


Thank you!!

Hi CcBipolar,


​Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. We understand you're having an issue using your AirPods with YouTube on your Mac, and you've tested a few other functions to help narrow the issue down.


You mentioned this only happens with YouTube. Have you tested audio from other websites? Also, is it happening with YouTube in Safari, or in another browser?


It sounds like you may have already looked at this setting, but if not, try clicking Apple menu () > System Preferences > Sound > Output. Is the balance slider set to the middle?


Let us know.


Take care.
