I've got a big problem with my iMac G4 1.25 Ghz 17". The headphones output only works in the left channel... what is wrong? - and how can it be repaired !?
I have checked the systempreferences' balance control, in case it was adjusted only to play Left ch.
Hope any of you guys have an anwser, excuse my bad english, i'm from Denmark!

I have this problem too with my 1 Ghz 17" iMac. I'm using external speakers and every now and then, I notice the sound suddenly come mostly from the left side. I open the system preference and, like you, the balance has changed itself toward the left.

I checked the prefs for corruption but found nothing wrong. The problem persisted with every OS update, up to 10.2.8, which i'm currently using. I'd have to try with a new user account to see if the problem continues, but seeing that I'm not alone with this problem offers some hope...

hello, strange... you say that you somtimes got more sound coming from one channel, in my case the right channel is ALL GONE. Don't know if it's the same problem we posess, but mine is all gone, it's never there only the left channel.

I think my problem started after a system update too, but I'm not positive.

Maybe be reinstalling the operating system will fix it?

Help me(us) !
