Bug from 10.2 resurfacing in 10.4

Hey there,

I'm experiencing an incredibly annoying problem since I upgraded (archive & installed) to tiger. Randomly, when i change the volume using the keys on my Powerbook 12" 1Ghz, the left/right balance will change by its self. I can watch the slider move by its self.

Sometimes it wont happen for a few hours, then it'll happen almost every time for half an hour or so.. needless to say it is incredibly annoying, especially wearing headphones.

I found some resources on the net from the 10.2 era, but the 'solution' on apple's site isn't so helpful:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25466
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030714025520659

I'm completely stumped on this and it is incredibly annoying. I've ruled out third party apps -- it's happened with just Finder and iTunes running.

If *anyone* could help me out here it would be very appreciated.. this is driving me nuts

Thanks
 
EXACTLY

Same here, my PowerBook (see sig) gets the same thing, it changes by itself and it's really annoying, the exact same way you said it, i even deleted the system preferences preferences fiel and it did me no good. i really wish there was a fix to this. BTW, I archive and installed from Panther to Tiger. Someone please help us!
 
now thinking about it, when playing movies i have experienced the same thing happening. on another note, i notice you are a 12" 1Ghx pb user like me - have you noticed the fan runnning at full speed pretty much all the time?
 
so this looks like another bug that 10.4.1 has to repair!

i dont remember all these problems with 10.3.0!
 
Yeah I have a 12" 1GHz PowerBook G4... I have the exact same problem. Thanks for posting this!
