stock 7.0, Version: V52120g, unlocked bootloader but I haven't done anything yet (no TWRP, etc). I swear it used to work but today it doesn't. I don't use this daily so perhaps I'm insane.

I've tried speaker/channel test tool and both R and L channels come from the right speaker so I get all the sound but only from the 1 speaker. Headphones are fine. I've toggled the Accessibility -> Hearing-> Audio Type -> Mono / Stereo but it didn't fix it.

The fact both channels are coming from the 1 right speaker makes me think its software/firmware related.
Thoughts?

Thanks for any feedback.

Unfortunately the speaker grill on the left side is just for cosmetics. It's only 1 speaker on the right side so it's just mono speaker not stereo speakers.

As long as you're getting sound, your tablet's working fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
