[Ti] A real TiBook related question...

[Brian W]

John (and list) --

I have been having the same problem with my TiBook 400.

It seems to happen intermittently, not every time speakers/headphones 
are plugged/unplugged. For a while I thought it had something to do 
with the DVD Player app since I was noticing it after hooking the 
Powerbook up to my TV & stereo, but I haven't been able to reliably & 
regularly recreate the problem.

I'm using 10.2.6 but I also noticed the problem when using 10.2.5. It 
might have been happening in earlier versions, too, but like I said, 
it's so intermittent it's hard to track down.

Does anyone know of maybe a menu extra that allows 
monitoring/shifting the L-R balance? It would make an issue like this 
easier to track down.
