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

[Chip Everts]

François!

I have a solution! I had the same problem just this weekend. I knew 
that the balance controls were usually in the Output section of the 
Sound pref, but there was NO slider to adjust that. Yesterday I 
unplugged my speakers (USB) and plugged them back in and the slider 
magically appeared! They are all back to normal now! Try that- hope it 
works for you.
Oh. just re-read your post, looks like you've found the unplug-replug 
trick. Maybe you just shouldn't reboot your cube ; )
