I 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. 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. -me -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

And another here. I see the same effect on both my new eMac and my older iMac slot loader. I can't remember exactly when the iMac started doing it, but I get the feeling it was somewhere in the last few jaguar updates. dana -- http://www.danamania.com/ -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
