How to adjust the balance between left and right speakers in windows 7?

Adjusting sound balance between left and right speakers

One of my friend had a problem with his ear phone. The problem is that it does not produce a balanced sound output. The sound was more in one ear and less in another ear. It is a hardware problem but can be rectified in software. We can adjust the sound balance so that it can be heard equally in both ears.

It was very simple in earlier versions of windows to change the speaker balance. But in windows 7 it is a bit difficult to find the option. Let us see how we can change the sound balance in windows 7 computer.

Click on Start ->Control Panel. Now click on 'Hardware and Sound' as shown in screen shot below.
