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

[François Menu]

Does someone have a solution to this problem? Since I upgraded to 
Panther (I haven't made a clean install, I just installed it over 
Jaguar), I sometimes have my USB speakers badly initialized during the 
boot process: the sound balance is to the left, or to the right (I keep 
the sound balance always centered), and when I open the Sound panel in 
the System Prefs, there's no balance slider at all. I have to unplug an 
replug the USB Speakers to have the balance slider reapper (and then I 
can correct the sound balance). My USB Speakers are plugged in one of 
the USB ports of my Apple Studio Display 17" CRT ADC, so it's a pretty 
standard configuration...
