Eternity touching my MIDI settings?

When I run Eternity for some reason it moves the balance on the SW Synth section of my computer's volume settings all the way to the left so that I only hear MIDI from the left half of my headphones. If I alt+tab out of Eternity and readjust the volume controls it will then be fine, but the next time I start Eternity it does the same thing again.

Does anyone else have this problem? Is there any fix for it?

Moved to the Eternity forum.

Must be an SDL issue. I was going to re-enable the MIDI volume control for Windows, but it causes the balance to be set to far left on my machine any time I move it, so I have left it disabled until the SDL guys fix it (if they ever do; they're pretty lax about ever getting anything done it seems).

I get this too.
