This is not a general issue, I've had my AXE I/O for almost a year and I've not had this problem.
By default, if you plug a guitar in instrument #1 and put on headphones, you'll only hear the raw unprocessed sound on the left and if you plug into instrument #2, you'll hear the raw unprocessed sound on the right. There is a setting in the AXE I/O Control Panel to hear the signal equally on both left and right channels.
This is from the AXE I/O user manual:
- Code: Select all
Direct Monitoring:
Here you can determine how the two input channels are mixed on the Direct monitoring path.
“Mono” means that both channels are mixed to mono. This is the most useful setting when you want to monitor one channel per time as this way the input channel will be monitored on both channels of your monitors or headphones.
“Stereo” mean that channel 1 will be routed to the left side of your monitors or headphones, and channel 2 on the right side. This is the most useful setting when you need to monitor stereo sources, like stereo microphones, keyboards, sound modules etc.
“Channel 1” makes only input 1 channel to reach the direct monitoring path on both L and R sides.
“Channel 2” makes only input 2 channel to reach the direct monitoring path on both L and R sides.
These are useful when only one input is normally used and you don’t want even the slightest amount of noise
coming from the other channel to be mixed into the monitoring path.
So, if you want to hear equally on both sides of your headphones thru the Amplitube standalone application, or thru your DAW, here are steps to follow from some of my eariler posts:
If you're on a Mac:dlgebert wrote:Did you update to the latest AXE I/O control panel? There is no driver update since AXE I/O is class compliant and does not require an external driver on MacOS. Don't use "asio4all" or any other external driver.
If you're on a PC:dlgebert wrote:First, make sure you are
NOT using "
asio4all" in Windows. The AXE I/O has its own Windows drivers:

Once you have the latest AXE I/O Control Panel installed and if
Windows, the official IKM ASIO driver, then go into the AXE I/O menu and check if you are on the latest firmware, which is [
v.1.04].
Go into the AXE I/O Control Panel and set "
Direct Monitoring" to "
Mono" to hear equally on both sides of your headphones, as mentioned above.

Make sure it is turned all the way to the right, pointing to [DAW]. Whether you are using a DAW or the standalone Amplitube application, it needs to be turned all the way to the right to hear just the signal processed thru the Amplitube standalone application or the plugin inside your DAW.
