Foobar2000 balance control

Is there a plugin for Foobar2000 which will allow the listener to adjust the balance between the left and right channels?

Thanks - I've installed it, but can't find any means of making it work - the layout is unchanged. Any suggestions?

This is basic information which should be in the wiki.
It's your privilege to disagree, but that doesn't make you right and me wrong.

Hello everyone,
it seems that Stereo Balance has no audible effect in my system, be it set @ 0, 50 or 100.
It doesn't react in real time, nor when i exit and Apply changes.
I can't use W Mixer because the DAC's driver skips it.

(Just to clarify, I am a musician :D)

Would anyone be able to supply some hint?

Thanks all :)

It must react with delay that is equal to output buffer length (File->Preferences->Playback->Output->Buffer length).

Correct Bogozo :)
I had actually lots of other mixed issues due to an unfortunate attempt to update to 2.0. Decided I'd go for a fresh no-registry installation from scratch, which fixed most of them, including Stereo Balance's weird behaviour.
Other new issues appeared tho. Before posting and endless list of problems and boring every one on this board, I'll try and normalise things as much as I can :)

Thank your for your time

PS: Editing: it seems the plug-in's correct behaviour depends on the type of file foobar is playing... :/
