I've acquired a set of "new" Apple Pro speakers and plugged them into my 867mhz G4 (1gb ram, OS 10.4) using the mini-jack. When the balance control is set to the middle in the sound preferences I get a stronger response from the left speaker than the right. If I move the balance control to the point where the stereo sound is equal there is a marked drop in volume and fullness in sound. I've used itunes and played with the settings and used the preamp to boost the balanced sound. However, if I push it too high the 'lesser' speaker flat-spots for want of a better word. Now I thought it might be the speakers so I tested them on a friend's G4 imac perfect! Confused, I tried my set of headphones through my G4's headphone outlet and detected a similar situation to the one found with the speakers but nowhere near as distinct. Is this the result of a deteriorating sound card can it easily be replaced, or is there some other tip or trick I can try? It is the standard Texas Instruments one.
