Hi, five years ago I came onto these boards asking a question. The question was unfortunately locked, but I believe it's still quite relevant. You see; I never was able to fix my problem, but it's not just me. There are multiple people questioning the same thing; How do I fix my reversed directional audio? My left is your right, my right is your left. I can't link the thread annoyingly because of anti-spam filters.

Interestingly, I have gone across multiple computers, multiple headsets in those past six years. Nothing has been able to fix my problem; Not without using software such as Equalizer APO to reverse the audio channels. I don't want to talk about this as while it is technically a solution, it doesn't fix the underlying cause; Which I believe is an undiscovered medical condition affecting our brain.

I posted this Youtube video six years ago. (Privated which reset the upload date, then publically uploaded again) NOTE: Can't link due to anti-spam filters. Youtube channel is Sharples. Title is; "Reversed Directional Sound While Gaming. Hope this doesn't break advertisement rules; But it is evidence of on-going issues.

Have a look at all the comments in that Youtube video, you will clearly see I'm not alone in this. I firmly believe now that the evidence gathered in the comments isn't just a one of with people having broken/reversed headsets, but that of a trend of people who are also in the same group as me.

I find this fascinating as we could be looking at a new medical discovery in the years to come; Or if somebody would like to point to an existing condition fitting these descriptions; I would be glad to read through it.
