Adding Speaker-Balance Controls/Slider to Debian KDE ( Parrot 4.10 KDE Home edition) ?
by Timmi from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5BQW7)
Can someone please coach me on how to add a Left-Right Balance slider, to the Volume Controls? (for the internal speakers on laptop)
I'm running ParrotOS 4.10 (& 4.11 beta) KDE Home edition.
Oddly their xfce edition has it (right-click on the speaker icon on the shelf, go into advanced controls, Output tab), but their KDE edition does not. See link for example:

Ever since I tried KDE, I liked it more than their xfce or Mate editions, and don't wish to go back.
Backgrounder:
I have 2 laptops, both of which have a blown right speaker. The distortion drones everything out, and I cannot understand what they are saying in a video, or listen to music. When I set the balance slider a bit to the left, the distortion goes away, things are audible and comprehensible, and I can listen to music or understand what they are saying in videos.
Your help would really much be appreciated. And please keep in mind that I'm not a cli-ninja. I've tried to reach out to them in their facebook group, but they refuse to approve my post - just deleting it repeatedly. Hoping people here are more noob-friendly. Thanks! :)
