Intel Mac :: Osascript Causes Audio Balance To Shift?
May 8, 2012
Whenever I use this command: osascript -e 'set Volume N' where N is 0, 1, 2,...the balance shifts back to center. I need the balance set shifted slightly right.
The only way I can find to set it back, is to open the preferences window, click on the speaker icon and manually reset the balance.
Is there either (1) any way to prevent this from happening? or (2) from a command similar to the above, to reset the balance?Â

I normally leave my speaker output balanced right in the middle (under System Prefs>Sound>Output), however I have noticed that my audio output has been going out of balance by itself recently.
One speaker will sound louder than the other and sure enough, I'll go to the system prefs and the balance will be off. Nobody has else uses my machine and I know that I don't ever touch the audio output.
I have an iBook G4 running 10.4.11 connected to a pair of Brookstone speakers and subwoofer.

I have this weird issue with my PowerBook (2nd last revision) for quite a while; whenever I plug my iPod headphones in I only hear audio on either the left or the right side. When I then go to the audio panel the audio balance is also to the left or the right. When I center it the audio is fine. However, when I plug again the headphones in at a later stage the audio balance is again off to the left or the right.
Is anybody familiair with this issue?

I've never noticed this before 10.5.7, and it's only happened to me twice, both in the last 24 hours.
Since it is random, I can't replicate it, but I can't confirm if this happens when you change the system volume, which used to happen on my old 12" PB. That problem was apparently caused by high CPU load messing up the volume change.
It's all in the title, the right channel mutes (both times this happened it was left biased) completely, and checking Sound Prefs. shows that my output balance slider is all the way to the left.
Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Occasionally, this iMac starts, and it will say "safe boot" in the login screen, and I have not done anything to make it do that. I do not have a sticky shift key, as far as I can tell.

I continually notice the volume balance (L-R) on my mac ibookG4 keeps changing itself. I have been working on disabling the remote access to my machine, but have been unable access the sudoers. What do you suggest? Is a malicious program or a person changing the settings? How do I prevent this from occurring in the future? Thanks in advance for your help.

In past versions of iTunes, the account balance from gift cards was displayed next to your name near the top right hand corner. That is no longer there in iTunes 10 and I have searched though different panels looking for the balance, but am unable to find it. Anyone know where I can find the balance?

Both my 15" MacBook Pro (i5) and my mum's last year 15" C2D ones have what seems to be an inaccurate balance with the internal speakers. The right hand speakers appear to be stronger.
Anyone else noticed this? It's not the end of the world, as the balance can be changed, but you'd think at 50% left 50% right that the volume would be the same per speaker...

i bought the 2009 refurbed 27"er and returned it 3 times due to yellow screen problem. for the 4th replacement they decided to send me the new model.
i have the 3rd and 4th replacements sitting here side by side.the 3rd replacement, which has a yellow corner is light years better than the new one.
the new screen doesn't have yellow corners...it's a perfectly consistent yellowish brown tone.
the older one has a yellow corner, but is much more illuminated and very balanced white. the max brightness of the new one is only 3/4s of the max of the old one.i tried configuring it to no avail.
are all the new models like this?it's quite a bit snappier, but the screen is worse than the last 3 that had yellow patches? it almost seems like it was a return and it shipped from cali rather than asia?

I redeemed my gift cards and I have a positive balance on my account, but when I try to buy pages it sends me to my billing info and askes for my credit card information. Why can't I just buy it and download it? I don't know what is going on.

Recently received an email about a purchase that was 1) a very lage sum and 2) one I had not personally made. I think it may be a scam, as the link for the "Not My Order/Report a Problem" did not work.

I have no audio, either on the internet or YouTube. I checked System Preferences>Sound and note that both sliders in this drop down box cannot be moved. Also the "mute" box at the bottom right is checked. I cannot "unmute" this check mark. Before i did all the above I pressed the F12 button to increase volume but nothing (no sound) comes off.

for Christmas I got my moms old macbook. It was some things that were wrong with it but she took it to get fixed at apple for like 500$ so Im sure she doesn't have warranty. The other day I was typing a report and it kept typing in capitals when I didn't have the caps lock on...I figured out that it was something with the shift key. I took it off, and that still didnt work. I haven't spilled anything on it at all. I take very good care of it also. Now I can't en log in because my password has numbers which only turn into symbols.

I purchased a late 2009 13" Macbook with 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB ram as a present for my son in college. He had problems last year and the top case and motherboard were replaced in early 2011; Recently his battery would not hold a charge and his hard drive failed. I replaced both and added more ram to speed it up - now at 8 GB)The right shift key does not work. I have checked universal access; speech-to-text features are off; checked keyboard - English is chosen; checked keyboard, shift key is not assigned to any function;Left shift key does work. Right shift key does work on an attached Logitech wireless keyboard. The key seems to press down okay, just will not capitalize any letters.

My iMac switches from internal audio output to external when I log in after computer wakes up from sleep mode. It also does it when I "shut down" under apple menu and physically turn on via the power button on back. My quick fix is to go under audio settings and manually switch audio output back to internal speakers. I don't understand why it's switching on it's own. Could another program be switching the audio output, maybe iTunes?
