Bug ID: 491349
Summary: Adjusting balance of external speaker levels when
listener is not in the sweet spot becomes quite
tedious indeed
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 5.27.11
Platform: Slackware
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
When adjusting Balance levels on a laptop with the headphone jack connected to
a hi-fi audio system, it rapidly becomes quite annoying having to pop up the
Test button, check the balance of perceived volume levels, close the pop-up,
make a small adjustment, pop up the Test button, repeat until surround-sound
levels are balanced, a complex task the systems designer seems to have never
done before. Wish: either a repeating left-right back and forth audio while
adjusting levels or a persistent Test pop-up that remains open until the user
is satisfied with the balance and clicks a Done button.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect HDMI port to wide-screen TV, Headphone jack to the power or pre-amp
module of a room stereo system at rear of room, adjust levels via wireless
mouse/keyboard.
2. Place the listener off to the side of the sofa on a rocker-recliner chair.
3. Adjust balance levels so the off-center listener perceives center stage.
4. Reset balance to equal levels when guests are viewing Bluray movies from
the sofa, adjust balance for off-center listening after guests have departed.
5. Repeat 4 on another evening before guests arrive.
