Recently VLC stopped playing sound on the right side. Both on my speakers and my bluetooth headphones.
- Output mode is set to stereo.
- Same files play audio fine on both sides using mpv
- other applications also play sound on both sides
I'd been hoping this was a bug but recent updates haven't fixed it.
Anything else I could check for the cause? (I'm using pulseaudio on kde)

pacmd list-sink-inputs
while playing something for starters and/or look through/delete ~/.config/vlc/vlcrc to make sure you don't have some faulty vlc config

Playing the same video both in vlc and mpv at the same time:

Fresh vlcrc makes no difference.
CLearly this is the problem:

balance -0,95
Any idea how to fix it?

pactl set-sink-volume 84 100%,100% #just use whatever sink index the inputs command gives you
should work, otherwise use pavucontrol or the right click advanced option menu in KDE's plasma-pa mixer, use the corresponding "adjusting all channels" to split the channel into it's two components and bump the right one back up
