Headphones work fine, in windows audio left and right are correct. In BF1, the positional audio is reversed in that sounds from the left come out of the right sided headphone cup. Sound setting is set to ‘headphone’. Positional audio is correct in all other games and windows environment.
Anyone have this experience? Anyone have any tips to get this corrected???
Thanks
Pro Tip: Turn the headphones around
Right and when the mic on the headset is now positioned at the back of your head with no way to switch it to the other side, then what?
Buy Antlion modmic that you can flip from one side to the other…
Seriously I don’t have a clue how to fix OP’s issue.
Is your audio piped through a sound card or through hdmi/ DisplayPort?
Do you have the same problem if you change the in game settings to any of the speaker options?
I assume you have them plugged in prior to starting BF as it may cause issues if you plug in after it starts.
turn your computer desk around and play on the other side of the room with a mirror behind you, it should fix this, I know because I have tried it.
Sorry, my Beyerdynamic mmx300s have a repositional mic. It’s been a long time since I’ve used other subpar headphones. It’s one of the best investments you can make for gaming because you don’t need to upgrade it every few years, like a graphics card or processor, or every time a cheap plastic part on one breaks. There are only two, or three gaming headphones worth buying.
To answer your question, buy a $5 clip-on microphone… besides, I’ve been hard-pressed to find other people in squads using a microphone on bf1. Anyone who talks, and coordinates objectives, I ask to friend me.
pwn solo, not everyone has the budget for $200+ headphones. neither turning the headphones around nor buying a clip on mic, seems a helpful reply at all. snobbery snobbish. “sorry my headphones are better than yours”.
omg.
At first I honestly thought that just turning the headphones around would work, but I guess some headphones don’t have a microphone that turn 180 degrees.
I probably have 6 separate headphones made by razor or other companies that sit in my computer graveyard, or have been given to friends.
You can buy a set of beyerdynamics DT 770 for $120 and put a $5 microphone on and have the same experience. Look on eBay and you’ll find them for half that price used. I’m just trying to say it’s a good investment. No need to look for reasons to be offended, I’m always an advocate for these cans. It’s the first pair that I’ve been able to wear for years w/o breaking. I guess the word subpar sounds a little pretentious, but trust me I have many subpar headphones in my closet. As far as I’m aware there’s no way to switch the polarity on headphones with software. I haven’t Googled it though.
If you’re on a budget, this Zaman clip-on mic looks like just the fix.
what else is still in your closet, pwn solo? *wink
If I may pop in, I have run into this in the past, and there are a few things you can do:
Although some headphones have headbands and ear cups that are not designed to go backwards, reversing the headset is a valid idea, if it allows this (for now)
See if there is an option to Reverse the output in your Audio Adapter (Soundcard/etc) software. Some software (eg. Realtek, etc) comes with an interface that has an Equalizer and other functions besides Volume. It may have a checkbox or button in there that you can adjust. Check the website of the manufacturer of your Audio Device to see if there is any software you can install for it
See if there is an option to Reverse the output in the Windows control panel for the Audio Device. One way to get to this is to right-click the small Speaker icon in the System Tray area of the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Then find your adapter in the list and click on the Configure button or right-click it and select Properties. In the window of tabs that comes up, there might be a selection available to Reverse the output of headphones.
If you are not fussy about what your Audio Adapter is, you can purchase a cheap Audio Adapter to use as your Sound Device. There are USB Audio Adapters (sound boxes or usb thumb adapters) that you can purchase for as low as $20 USD (or less for really cheap ones with lower reliability) to use as your Sound Device. Not only will they likely be ‘not reversed’, but many of them come with Software that you can use to configure reversing the output (personal example: a USB 7.1 box I purchased that had software to install that allowed this option in it).
You can also purchase some cables that are 3.5mm Stereo Audio on one end (standard analog headphone plug) with two RCA ends on them (the Red and White ‘Right and Left’ phono connectors for audio) which are female on the ends ($5) and then a couple of female RCA connectors ($2) and reverse the connections (plug the red into the white, ‘reversed’, as you plug them into each other) and then plug the ends into your Audio Adapter (soundcard/onboard) and your headphones (you may need a male-female 3.5mm Stereo Audio adapter or cable extension ($5). This will essentially be a ‘bypass’ that reverses your left and right output but still uses your current Audio Device and may cost less than purchasing new headphones or a new Audio Adapter.
I hope something works out for you!
I’m having almost exact same problem with Sennheiser 363D on Windows 10
It’s connected to PC via USB dongle and it works fine until I play BF1 for a while.
The difference in my case when sound reversed it reversed everywhere, not in just BF1 and it doesn’t happened all the time.
I’ve tried reinstall audio driver - no success.
A temp work around this issue is:
Fix: Turn around headphones 
It doesn’t work with surround 5.1/7.1 headhones. Stop giving stupid “suggestions”, we are trying find the cause and real fix.
This issue is not related to the game, it’s system wide issue.
I’ve already tried replacing the usb headphones dongle - didn’t change anything (although it temporary fixes the problem while unplugging it and plug it back in, but that’s because windows audio service restarts(?)). Surround settings also have no effect.
just use speakers large
Either return them or replace the plug connector and rewire it
this program can fix this problem for you;
here is a detailed video on how to do it;
