The ship audio (or at least engine effects) seem to be coming out of the wrong speaker when I’m wearing headphones. For example, if I’m tracking something and my ship is on the left side of the screen, I’ll hear my ship through the right speaker of my headphones. ---

Welcome The Box Box! I’ll get the awkward question out of the way first: Are you sure your headphones are on the correct ears and/or working properly? Have you tried with any other programs to see if they’re inverted as well? ---

Yeah, I’ve made sure repeatedly that my headphones are on the correct ears, and I’m not having this issue with any other games, apps, videos, etc. ---

@The_Box_Box that’s a strange one, it _only_ affects EVE? No other apps/games? Give [Dolby Digital - HD Surround Sound Test - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvnlpPWAcZc) or [Dolby Presents: The World Of Sound | Demo | Dolby Atmos | Dolby - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91BUM3WhCfo) a listen to test. ---

Yep! Watched both of those videos, and the audio worked exactly as it was supposed to. Left is left, right is right. It seems it’s only EVE that has this issue. I specifically notice it with my ship’s sounds when I’m tracking something while flying around and warping through systems. Also, I haven’t always had this issue in EVE. It’s relatively new, I think it might have started around the time they started using Directx 12, maybe a little before or a little after, though I could be wrong. ---

Same problem here, checked the video and everything seems normal there, just eve is inverted. I’m using a Razer headset, if that is a relevant information. ---

Same problem here, only on EVE, other games / Youtube is working fine. It was first noticeable due to looking around my ship while warping - hence the engine sound stereo was reversed. Not sure if other sound effects such as weapons are this way; ---

I just recently got some nice speakers that can do directional audio. All other games have their sounds coming from the right direction but NOT EVE. An explosion to my right is played on my left speaker and vice versa. Is there any way to fix this? Or is this a bug? ---
