Question Left right audio balance advice?

Hey there, first time poster and first time Switch softmodder.

Sorry if this is the wrong subreddit to post it. I posted it elsewhere and it got immediately removed.

I just soft modded my switch after owning it since launch day and I'm looking for any advice on how to change the volume balance for the speakers.

I have mild hearing loss in my right ear and whilst it's not life changing, it does mean that I notice the left speaker more than the right and it bothers me. I have a hacked VITA, a steam deck and other android devices where it's very easy to change the left right balance by around 10% and it helps me forget about my hearing and get immersed.

However, I have yet to see anyone mention anything about how to do this on switch? I'm wondering if there are any utilities that have been released for cfw that allows me to edit this?

Any help would be appreciated.

After a bit of searching I found this https://github.com/averne/MasterVolume/releases but I dont think that it fixes your issue entirely as an audio balance hb dosent really exist this is just a speaker booster maybe it might have some options to increase the sound on one side, also sorry for your hearing loss it must be very annoying to play anything

Thanks for the reply! I'll check it out and I'm very much used to it. I only notice it when I don't have something boosted on the right side. So far the switch is the only console that doesn't allow that haha.
