sound balance setting is erratic, it changes on its own

i sometimes use my headphones to listen to music, when i remove them and just listen through the speakers on the pbook - the sound balance is off (osx will somehow move the balance to the left speaker on it own) from "system preferences > sound > balance"

has anyone experienced this.. i'm on a 12" pbook 1.5 ghz running on osx 10.4.4 (the jan / feb 2005 revision).. i only noticed this after i installed 10.4.4 - which was like in september and i did a clean install (formatted entire comp)

My friend has this problem with the exact same computer. I've seen it a few times in other forums also.

It's a known bug...
Happens to me too!

so i guess there's no fix to this - unless we spam steve with a patch eh?
