I have Logitech x530 5.1 speakers (old school, I know) and they plugged directly into the motherboard (ASUS P8Z68-V) but for some reason the left and right channels are reversed.

I have tried everything I can think of, including updating drivers etc but nothing seems to work.

I am running Win 7 64bit and the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers:


So If I click on the top left speaker it comes out the top right. The top right comes out the top left. The bottom right comes out bottom left and the bottom left comes out bottom right. The sub and front are both fine.

Does anyone have any idea on how I can flip this? I've been using the same layout for 5+ years so its definitely not a having my speakers backwards thing. Also, I would prefer to not have to physically change my speaker layout

Haha yea they definitely are, I've had them this way for years now.

I did have this issue at one time in the past and somehow solved it though I have no idea how i did it :(

Also if you do an image search for people using these speakers the speaker with volume control is ALWAYS on the front right - same as mine.

just swap the cords around so it does what you want

Explain please?

As I said earlier I don't want to (and can't) change my setup (move my left to the right) due to poorly designed cables.

Yes on the front and rear.

I've built a new PC so its a whole new system. Shouldve said that first sorry. But it is the exact same setup.

Its broken, need a new pc.

OK had a look at how the cabling is done. The right speaker input comes straight off the motherboard and everything else goes through the sub. When you plug the green to the green on the front panel, do you get the same left and right problems?

No, the front right is the one with the volume knob.

Strange, If normal headphones are fine then I'd be wondering if your speakers have always been dodgy or maybe the new mobo did some weird auto discover on the jacks and have them around the wrong way.
