Right speaker on PBg4 not working!!!

latisha1903 · Jan 15, 2006

I was playing some songs in itunes today and the right speaker I don't think i'm getting any song. i don't feel any vibrations on that side!!! i couldnt hear the background in one of my songs from itunes. this pbg4 won't be a year old till april of this year. what's up with that??!

anyone else had this problem. I'm new to mac...and this is very upsetting. considering that my pbg4 doesnt' get out much and i don't even really use the speakers really..

what next the keyboard? ugh

Go to System Preferences>Sound>Output and make sure the Balance slider is in the middle. My PB used to do that occasionally, as it has with other peoples PB's.

Your speaker probably is not out. Search this site -- I think it is a setting that you have to change.

My ibook did that too-- there is a bug in 10.4 that occasionally sets the speaker balance all the way to the left. Go to system preferences-- sound-- output and put the balance slider back to the center.

like rosalindaavenue said, it is a bug in 10.4 (although i have had it happen with 10.2 as well). In my experience it always seems to be linked with either force quitting and audio application or having to do a hard restart. Either way, i havent had this problem since 10.4.2, so if you havent done your system updates, now might be a good time.

Glad to have helped!

Hehe, had the same problem. I was so shocked! I still don't know how I did set the balance wrong!

humm, i guess it still happens. I thought that the updates were what fixed it for me. Maybe it is because i use an external audio device most of the time?

I had that problem with my iBook in 10.4.2 and 10.4.3, I can't say if there is a pattern to exactly when the balance becomes off. I have just recently upgraded to OS 10.4.4 so we'll see if the problem still occurs.
