Hi everyone.

Went to play a CD the other day and could only hear the soundtrack - no
vocals!
Went into Control panel/Sounds and Audio devices and checked everything -
everything seemed OK until I began moving the speaker balance control.

When I moved the slider to the left, the audio came back and the CD sounded
normal.
When I moved the slider to the right, the audio came back and the CD sounded
normal.
When I moved the slider to the centre again, the audio disappeared again.

I don't play much music on the CD drive but noticed, about three weeks ago,
that there was a noticeable hum/buzz coming from the speakers that I had not
been aware of before.

The computer is a Dell 3100 (Cel 346) with integrated audio and basic Dell
A215 speakers.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Mike
