Possibly, or, maybe we only notice it when USING iTunes ;). Other thanI noticed the exact same problem (on my iBook 800, 10.2.6) a couple of nights ago when I plugged in headphones to do some compression work on a concert recording in Sound Studio. At first, I thought that six months' worth of being tossed into my backpack while I was at work had started to take its toll on my headphones, or that maybe the jack was going flaky.
during music playback, the Mac doesn't make much sound by which to judge the
balance.
The night before, I had been having trouble with audio input (from a DAT recorder, via an iMic) coming out not-quite-balanced on one of the iBook's USB ports: when I plugged the iMic into the port closest to the hinge, software play-through worked just fine, but the left channel was WAY louder than the right channel; when I used the port closer to the trackpad, play-through was disabled but the signal was balanced.
At this point, I wonder if play-through really WAS screwed up. I'm tempted to try to re-create the problem, keeping an eye out for gratuitous output balancing on OS X's part.
