Turn them round on your head, that should sort it.

Is not an obvious solution when you are using heaphones like this.

Is your head screwed on the right way ?

Edit: Seriously though, there is often an option to swap left and right channels, but I think it is driver dependant so I can't tell you where to look.

Is all sound inverted, or only when you play a cd ?
If only when you play a cd then it is probable that your cd audio cable in connected wrongly.

What happens when you adjust the balance ? Does the wrong speaker get adjusted ?
If it is the wrong speaker, you have a cabling problem.

Does your m/board have a connector for front panel headphone socket? If so, this is probably where the crossover is occuring. There should be five or six wires - left and right feed, left and right return and 1 or 2 ground wires. The feed wires are reversed, but the return wires are correct.

Firts of all, the speakers are wrong, the cables are switched.. i guess I'll finally buy a 5.1 system. (not thos crappy 5 bucks speakers....).

But let me answer you all those questions:

Whe I tried the balance, the opposite speaker would response.

My mobo is an intel D865PERL there's only the sound card, and the cd drive is only with the ide cable. when I played cd, it was the same, as the problem was about the speakers...


Thx anyway.
