I have a brand new PBG4 17 1.5GHz running under build 7G43 (cam e preinstalled). I see the effect that the left speaker drops out, i. e. goes silent. After boot there is everything ok, but if I run for example iTunes after some time 60+ secs. the left speaker shuts down!

Anyone else seeing something like this?

Hardware problem? Driver problem?
Wait for 10.3.4?

Just saw this thread on Apple Discussions.
Cupertino, we have a problem!

There may be people with this problem, but I'm not seeing anything like this at all in a 1.5GHz 17".

... and another one!

Did you install all the latest updates and Patches (most notably QT6.5.1 and iTunes4.5)?

Yes, I have all the latest installed (QT 6.5.1 and iTunes 4.5). Note that the threads you refer to, the posters are not rev c 17" machines. This doesn't mean there isn't a problem for some, but it there is it's not rev c specific.

Right, the problem seems to be specific to the 17" PBG4 (no indication of anything like this in the 15" discussions) but not specific to rev C.
