[CUBE] This was strange.... (USB Speakers problem)

[Eagle]

François,

The balance slider is on the Output panel.  I recently installed 
Panther on my Cube (clean install - I formatted the hard drive first) 
and discovered that the balance was WAY to the left (or was it right?), 
but not completely so.  As my speakers are usually behind my display, I 
didn't notice it until I rearranged my desk.  (I know, I know, 
sonically that was a horrible location, but I rarely use the speaker.)  
As was expected, centering the balance made things sound much better.
