Easy way to check

If the low volume channel is putting out a single-ended signal instead of balanced, it will be 6db below (much less volume) the good, balanced channel.

An easy, non-technical way to check: connect the low volume balanced channel output to a balanced input, and the other channel from the single-ended output to a single-ended input. If they play at the same volume level, then you have found what the problem is: the "balanced" signal is playing single-ended. Detecting where the problem is will be a bit more difficult.

You will need to swap balanced/single-ended connections for both inputs and outputs and use logic to determine which unit is at fault. I bet it's the modded component, and I bet the fix is easy for any technician.

Peace,
