Stereo Reversed (Left is Right and Right is Left!)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Really stupid question. My sound on my computer has the left and right audio channels reversed. Does anyone know of a way inside windows xp, or a small application that can switch it? I'm using generic onboard sound (Realtek). Their software doesn't have any kind of option to change it. I've googled, but most of the answers I find are "swap your speakers around" which does me no good when using headphones (99% of the time).

At first it was a simple annoyance, but now trying to play any game that doesn't have that option built in is frustrating. Anyone have any ideas?

I knew someone was going to say that, hehe. I would, but the set I have now is a behind the head style (which I hate, but my PX100s are dead).

I actually found some applications which *should* have reversed the channels, but didn't do anything. I think I'm going to see if I can swap the pins on the front panel headphone jack on the motherboard.

A hardware solution would be to get two adapters. One from your audio jack to 2x RCA jacks, and one for the headphone plug to 2x RCA plugs.

Plug red into white, white into red.
