@Eddie46848 which version of the LMS plugin are you running?

[Eddie46848]

Hi. Version v0.501. Thanks

[philippe44]

Probably something with the LMS side of things then. There is no recent changes wrt balance and it still works as usual on my system.

[michaelherger]

I think that if there was a change in LMS, you @philippe44 would have had to be the author 😂. I usually don't touch this part of LMS.

@Eddie46848 - what LMS version are you using?

[Eddie46848]

Hi Version: 8.4.0 - 1695847275 Thanks

[michaelherger]

The ESP muse isn't a stereo device, is it? Would it ever have balance settings?

[Eddie46848]

Yes it is stereo it's the muse mn cast, the balance option has been there since day 1. But noticed a difference in the sound recently and realised it wasn't there anymore. I use it for the kitchen where the speakers are 3 meters apart.

[philippe44]

Can you give a screenshot?

[Eddie46848]

The one without balance is the mn cast , the one with is a squeezebox touch. Screenshot of mn cast also.

[philippe44]

I don't understand, I see "Balance" on both

[Eddie46848]

Hi Sorry disregard screenshot, I'd swapped the device before I came out to my squeeze receiver for testing. I'll swap back over when I get home. Thanks

[Eddie46848]

Hi So when I got home I reloaded the squeezelite firmware, balance is now there as a option. Thanks everyone
