My sound is inverted?

[Expendable Grunt]

I noticed while playing today that my sound is seemingly "backwards". That is, I'm hearing things on the opposite side in which they are happening. Shooting on my left comes out on the right of my headphones, choppers flying towards me sound like they're behind, etc. Sound was originally set to Software, High.

I've tried the following:
Turning sound to Hardware
Turning EAX on/off

Now, the positional audio test for Mumble/my system sound works right, so this problem doesn't happen with anything else. I'm using an onboard soundcard that has worked perfectly with BF2 in the past. It's an Asus board with Realtek audio (from what I can tell).

It makes the game unplayable as I'm disoriented, so getting this resolved would be fantastic.

Check your windows audio settings. make sure you aren't using any audio effects as they may screw-up game audio.

You could try:
Delete the original BF2 folder from your documents folder.
Backup your BF2 folder that's inside your documents folder. Once you have a backup delete the original from your documents folder.
Try starting PR from your new PR shortcut a new default folder is created link to your online account.
If all goes well (sound fixed) all you have to do to get your custom settings back is copy your 'control' file from your backup to the new profile folder.
path:
C:\Users\your user name here\Documents\Battlefield 2\Profiles\0002
note: you may not have a 0002 folder so use 0001

Good luck

Turns out my headset was on backwards.

It has no L or R designations and the mic swivvles 360...

Some commands, however, are garbled slightly. Updated my drivers but that didn't help.
