Panning is not working

I must be doing something wrong here, but I can't get panning to work.  It is coming out of both left and right speakers when I pan hard left or hard right. 
 
To test it and make sure it wasn't effects or a send I deleted the sends and went straight to the master out, but it still didn't work. 
 
Any help is much appreciated.
 
Thanks

    Is the interleave on your master set to mono?

    My panning is also not working.  I was hoping to find help in this post.  In my 15 or so recorded tracks, some of them will pan and some are "stuck."   They are not stuck at center.
     
    I created the project from an existing one by doing a Save As so I could mess with the mix.  So now I have a number of tracks that are frozen in the pan position from my previous project.  Some tracks pan, some are frozen.   Anyone have any ideas?

    Pan envelopes?  If one exists and is centered, the pan knob itself would snap back to center position on playback.

    Thanks, Steve.  Good thought but I did check for that.  In fact sometimes I find an envelope that I didn't know about lurking at the bottom of the track view.   In this case I even added a pan envelope to see if I could move the sound but the output ignored the envelope as well.
     
    I have other tracks that work fine.  e.g. the vocal track pans.   I tried redirecting my hi-hat track (one of the problem tracks) to the vocal bus and it still didn't work.  I think it's a bug in the program but I wanted to try everything I could think of first before reporting.  In the meanwhile I have a workaround.  Thanks again.

    offramp - have you checked the track interleave (button looks like two circles in a ven diagram)?  Paning is for mono tracks.

    In Track View, what is the waveform showing? It will either be one wave for mono or 2 waves for stereo.
     
    You can only really pan mono signals. With stereo, the pan control acts like a balance control found on HiFi equipment.
    Depending on how the (stereo) signal was recorded it may or may not pan at all.
     
    In situations like this, drop a copy of Channel Tools, either in the Fx bin or as a chain in the Pro Channel.
     
    You can then place any signal wherever you want in the stereo field

    I have had this happen occasionally, too. Sounds like a random bug.

    Don't think so Rod.
     
    This behaviour is nearly always pilot error
