Inverted audio on headphones

Hi all,

I recently built a new gaming PC and installed the latest version of Bazzite. I am using the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro for audio, but when testing the headphones in the System Settings, it gives me inverted audio.

If I try 'Front Left', I hear it on the right side, and if I try 'Front Right', I hear it on the left side. I also tried it by playing Minecraft, but whenever there's water on the left side I hear it on the right and vice versa.

Of course I could just wear my headphones the other way around, but this would give me the minor inconvenience of a cable going from the left ear all the way to the right of my desk.

My guess is it's a software issue, because I have two audio in-lines, from the back of the motherboard and on the front of the PC case, and both give me inverted audio, so I don't think there's an issue with cables or something.

I was wondering if there's any way to invert the audio in the settings so it would basically invert the inverted audio to how it should sound?

Solution

context.modules = [
    {   name = libpipewire-module-loopback
        args = {
            node.description = "Flip Stereo channels"
            capture.props = {
                audio.position = [ FL FR ]
                media.class = Audio/Sink
                node.name = "flip_channels_sink"
            }
            playback.props = {
                node.name = "flip_channels_output"
                node.passive = true
                audio.position = [ FR FL ]
            }
        }
    }
]

context.modules = [
    {   name = libpipewire-module-loopback
        args = {
            node.description = "Flip Stereo channels"
            capture.props = {
                audio.position = [ FL FR ]
                media.class = Audio/Sink
                node.name = "flip_channels_sink"
            }
            playback.props = {
                node.name = "flip_channels_output"
                node.passive = true
                audio.position = [ FR FL ]
            }
        }
    }
