Panning No Longer Works Logic Pro X

I'm on Logic Pro x 11.2.2 and my panning no longer works on none of my projects which worked before. I have not changed anything on my projects. The only thing that has changed is that Logic Pro x has been updated via automatic updates on my Mac. I've searched forums, videos and the Logic Pro help literature and I cannot find anything to fix my problem.


I've come across forums and videos talking about making sure all plugins are set to "stereo", which mine already are. I've also seen where they recommend to check your mac's accessibility audio setting is not set to "play stereo audio as mono", which mine is already unchecked.


When I pan my tracks, the sound just slightly lowers, and slightly is an overstatement, but it does not hard pan to either side. As previously mentioned, this all worked before and I have not changed anything on any of my projects, but now panning does not work and it's driving me insane. Can someone help me to resolve this issue. Thanks!!

Hi thank you for the information. That was really helpful as I was not aware of that feature. Although, I tried that, but it did not resolve my issue. I figured out what my problem was. The ¼” jack adapter on my headphones was faulty. I replace it and it resolved my issue. However, I did notice that I am still getting a little sound on one ear after panning all the way. I tried turning off one my buses and it lowered the volume some more but I can still hear it slightly on the side that has been panned out. Is this normal, or should the volume completely turn off on the right when panned all the way to the left?
