One speaker goes out when connecting to GoToWebinar

I'm on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.4) ...signing in as meeting organizer.

Just recently when my computer is making the connection with GTW, my left computer speaker pops a couple times then goes out completely. So when I'm in the program I can only hear out of the right speaker. Others in the meeting say I sound fine so I think my mics are working. Then when I end the meeting and close out my speakers make the popping sound again and then work fine when I play any videos or music in other programs.

It's something in the GTW application start up that is doing this. Is there a fix?
  • Hi,

    I have an update on this issue and why it seems to affect only some Mac users. It appears that some MacBooks have their microphone located very near one of their speakers, this causes issues with the echo cancellation in the audio so it mutes the speaker.  

     

     

  • I don't typically use headphones so I have not tried. I can try...

    Hi Heather,

    If you connect headphones into the headphones jack, do they do the same thing as your speakers?
