  • Checking stereo after changing an audio driver or cable.

Frequently asked questions

One side plays nothing.
Try the same test with headphones. If headphones are fine, the speaker or its cable is at fault. If the same side fails on headphones too, the problem is the output device or the balance setting in your operating system's sound panel.
The left and right labels are swapped.
Check the speaker cables first, then the balance control. On a laptop, a swapped stereo image usually means an audio driver problem rather than hardware.
Is the Stereo Test free?
Free, unlimited, and no email address required. You can use it a hundred times a day and nothing changes.
Is what I paste into the Stereo Test stored?
No. The Stereo Test runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your input never reaches inputtesthub.com or any third party — open your browser's Network tab while you use it and you will see no request go out.
Who is the Stereo Test for?
The jobs it is built for: confirming a system is playing genuine stereo and not doubled mono. Checking stereo after changing an audio driver or cable. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
Do I need to install anything to run this test?
No installation, no extension and no driver. The Stereo Test uses the browser's own device APIs and begins as soon as the page loads, so there is nothing to press first. Press Reset at any point to start over with a clean slate.
