My left speaker is torn , I can't replace it right now .There is a appaling sound when i play media .A way around is to go to the Control Panel >Hardware and Sound >Change system sounds > Right Click on the speaker (Playback tab) >Properties >Levels >Balance >Left Slider to zero . This makes it so sound only plays from the right speaker which works fine for me .BUT , I need to plug in heaphones for when I am working (they are not in all the time)and need to revert sound settings back to the default which gets annoying fast . I want to create a script ( in the simplest way possible) that when executed can navigate the settings and turn the left speaker to zero .Even a way to do it through the terminal (if a script is not practical would be appreaciated ). A desktop shortcut to quickly do the mundane work . Programming wise I don't have much .I am a beginner in C,and completed cs50 but I am always up for a challenge . If I can get a roadmap for how to do it , I will be attempting to do it best I can.

    Programmatically the Windows API is discussed in [IChannelAudioVolume interface](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/audioclient/nn-audioclient-ichannelaudiovolume), with a particular function [`IChannelAudioVolume::SetChannelVolume`](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/audioclient/nf-audioclient-ichannelaudiovolume-setchannelvolume). – Weather Vane Apr 05 '23 at 10:51

  • It's a laptop ! I don't know how I failed to mention that . yeah – Aàrohan YT Apr 05 '23 at 15:02
  • I suppose I could open it up and disconnect just the left speaker . That might actually be the easiest solution . Will try it tomorrow . Let's see how it goes – Aàrohan YT Apr 05 '23 at 15:27
