[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 742894, member: 56231"] Assuming you've checked the balance in SysPrefs > Sound > Output, imbalance can be caused by a slightly dodgy speaker or audio plug. Try twirling the cable plug where it goes into the audio out on your Mac, sometimes a bit of oxide builds up on the contacts (just don't have anything playing at the time). Lastly, 1) spray a little CO contact cleaner (NOT WD40 or similar) on to a 3.5 mm dummy plug, and twirl that about in the audio out socket, and 2) twist your headphone plug lightly inside a piece of fine-grade emery paper, but wipe it clean with a paper tissue afterward.
