Sound Servo (PC Speaker)

How do I centre my sound servo to 90 degrees? It is a horizontal servo for a head, set to move between 60 and 120 degrees but always moves to 60 degrees when audio has stopped playing.

I found a work around for this by pausing the sound servo. I added to my stop() command the following script: ControlCommand("Sound servo Speaker", PauseOn). My stop command centres the head at 90 degrees. I unpause it when I want to play audio again.
