I think Scarlett 18i20 Gen 1 has to work with MixControl. So if there is a setting in MixControl to do a factory reset I would certainly be trying this.
Focusrite Control is the current software for all their newer interfaces. From what I can see there is no such factory reset under Focusrite Control.
Starise brings up a good point though. The other day I was hearing everything in just one ear under Focusrite Control
(with a Clarett 2 Pre interface) and it was just a silly balance control being out of whack. I did discover something unusual the other day though doing a stereo recording through a
Clarett 2 Pre interface. If you monitor with headphones plugged into the
Clarett 2 Pre at a very low volume the headphone mix automatically goes into mono! The stereo does not appear until you turn the phones up to a higher level. That one threw me!
It is rare
(but not impossible) for a hardware fault to occur though. This sounds like it might be just that. An output chip has failed etc...
