Home Forums Mac Software Mac Operating Systems 10.4/Tiger: L/R audio balance Menulet?

I'm still running 10.4.11 on my G4 music recording system. A known problem with the system up until this point (is it fixed yet? don't know...) is that if you rapidly tap the keyboard's "Volume Up/Volume Down" keys it can throw the left—right stereo balance off center. To fix it you have to open the Sound Preferences Pane and manually drag the little slider to re-center it.

I've looked in vain for a Menulet which would put a Balance control in the Menu Bar, but as far as I can tell, this is a problem nobody has ever addressed.

Has anyone ever seen one? I'd be massively grateful if anyone knows of such a little beast and could point me toward it.

TIA!
Phos....

I've never heard of the volume menulet affecting the L/R balance. Can you point us to any other examples on the www?

The Apple Discussions topic Audio balance shift describes the issue experienced by an iBook G4 user, and lists a couple of solutions. In addition, the section ‘Using VLC with Audio Hijack’ about ¾ down on this page lists an AppleScript to re-center the audio balance.

Awesome band-aid, Alternaut. Copy/Paste, Save as app, drop in the ../Library/Scripts/ folder...done! Took me longer to find it on that page than to make and use the script!

Thanks 10 million!
