I have a macbook air 13" that I just bought from the apple store about 2 weeks ago. I been having problems with the headphone jack. When I plug my headphones into the jack, the left earbud works but the right doesn't have any sound. I tried 2 apple headphones and 1 non-apple headphone, and it still does the same thing. I also tired these headphones on other devices and it works fine. Can anyone help?
System Preferences > Sound > Output
Settings for the selected devices
Balance:
Drag the pointer to the middle.
Best.

Had the same problem and re-centering the Balance fixed it. But it's gotta be a bug of some sort... I definitely never changed the balance and had other issues: If I use the volume Up or Down buttons the right headphone will dropout, but hitting mute on/off brings it back
Thanks dominic23, this worked for me too.
But this is wierd because it happened to me today only after updating my Mac OSX to 10.8.3, it could be a software bug.
Thanks after all.
This happens to me all the time. I'm constantly having to re-Balance my Headphone Output to the Center. It's moving on its own somehow. What's the **** is going on?!?!
THANKS MAN !!!!!
I agree about the bug, I also never changed the levels. Never even knew they existed.
Push the jack more firmly in.
dominic23, thank you so much for your help. actually there was volume control on balance itself but i just reset that balance and its working. thank you so much for this, i thought ill have to change some hardware or something but this really helped me. so other mac users, if you think you are facing this problem then once reset that volume control bar, take it to the right and once to the left then it will work. 🙂
******* legend!

I checked System Preferences > Sound > Output and noticed that the pointer was off-center and thought I had found the problem but when I dragged it to the center one of the earphones still wasn't working! But then I saw this post and looked at the headphone jack and it was halfway in haha 😁
