Title: Speakers are backwards, how to reverse balance?
Post by: Corvette on August 01, 2009, 04:56:01 PM
Does OA have a way to reverse the balance? I recently found out that my speakers are backwards but I can't simply switch them because the cord leading to the first speaker from my computer is too short. I can't find an option in Windows XP to switch them either and my drivers don't support it (and I tried looking into the free http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/ drivers but they aren't compatible with my sound card). Any suggestions?

i don't know of any console commands to switch in openarena. but i would just buy an an extension cord.
they are very cheap and i guess all games that uses stereo will be wrong as well.

i do not know of any commands for openarena that can help you

You are not the first one. :) http://www.cyberfight.org/offline/interviews/11061/ check the end of the interview. The comments there have a few suggestions.

Thanks everyone. I kinda didn't want to add wire because I don't want to add line loss and reduce the already bad quality of these speakers and cutting them up also won't help the quality either. I think I may use headphones for now, I may end up trying that reversal option someone mentioned on that link. Thanks again.

Or run Linux, and jackd, you'll be able to switch channels :D (well, Jack isn't really intended for that, so, maybe even directly with OpenAL)
