apple menu-->system preferences--->sound--->output--->check to see if the balance is off
if it isn't... you either have corrupted sound preferences or a hardware problem... but i doubt it is a hardware problem unless you have 2 separate problems...
i hate it when simple things are the cause of problems. i feel like i waste a bunch of brain power figuring out a problem that does not exist.
take this for example:
my powermac was making this really loud beep every 15-20 minutes. i could not, for the life of me figure out what was causing it. i opened up console and found some weird plist parse behavior at login. i spent an hour or more researching this only to find it wasn't really a problem at all for various reasons, and that the "error message were misleading.
i gave up hope and shut off my computer for the night so the beeps would stop. however, they did not stop! this led me to assume it was coming from my speakers (promedia 2.1, klipsch) so i shut off my speakers, waited for 5 minutes, thought the beeping had stopped and went to class.
i come home and i hear "beep" i double check and make sure everything is off and am simply dumbfounded. i hear "beep" again, noticing it might not be coming from the computer area. i decide it is my alarm clock, so i unplug it. i wait 15 minutes, i hear another beep. i am insane at this point.
then suddenly a light bulb goes on in my head and i look up at the smoke detector. the damn battery was dying and it was warning me.
like such an idiot i felt! in fact, like such an idiot i still feel! oh, simple problems.
