AirPod max - audio on 1 ear (only on Mac)

[CHI-M]

Hi All,

I'm running into some odd issues with my Airpod Max. I got the new MBP M1 Pro and whenever I link my Airpod and play music, I only get audio on the right side only. Initially I thought it was something with the AirPod, but whenever I link it to my iPhone it play just fine, so it leads me to believe there is some setting on Mac messing with this?

Also, when I connect AirPod Pro to my Mac, it plays normal. So not a general bluetooth issue. Scratching my head.

When troubleshooting, I deleted Airpod Max from bluetooth area, and ran the Reset process for my Airpod Max but doesn't help. Kinda at a loss and not sure what to do next.

Hi!
I can only imagine 2 things, an Accessibility setting messed up or the Balance control (Go to  > system preferences > sound > output with your Airpods connected).
