How do I adjust the left and right channel volume balance on the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 headset?

The Turtle Beach Stealth 600 Gen 3 headset does not have a physical hardware dial to adjust the left/right channel balance directly on the earcups. Instead, the dials on the left earcup are used for Game Volume and Chat Volume (on Xbox/PC).To adjust the left and right channel balance, you must use the settings on your connected device:On PC (Windows): Right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar, select Sound Settings, click on the Stealth 600 Gen 3 device, and look for the Left channel and Right channel sliders under the Output settings.On Mobile: Use the Accessibility settings (usually under Hearing or Audio/Visual) in your phone's settings menu to adjust the audio balance slider.On Consoles: Most consoles do not offer a specific left/right balance slider in their system menus; audio is typically balanced equally by default.If you are experiencing uneven volume, ensure the ear cushions are properly seated and that you have not accidentally activated a specific Audio Preset using the Mode Button that might emphasize certain frequencies differently.
