Ive been playing around with snd_play, snd_loop and snd_tune but it seems the balance parameter does nothing, it plays in both channels regardless of being set to -100 or +100;

I'm using a .ogg file but i also tried .wav and MONO versions of the sound, even went as far as using sounds from the Gstudio template folder, still no luck;

At the moment i even muted my LEFT sound channel on my pc to make sure but i hear the sound in the RIGHT speakers regardless of the balance parameter;

so the question is, why would this happen? what am i overlooking?
