[BUG] Audio back to front.

Hello, I have a strange problem that has started happing lately for me. The audio is back to front.

 

Here is an example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-laCIf3GTls

It happens in Doom, Rage 2, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and I assume the rest.

 

My hypothesis have is that it is the "Surround Right" and "Surround Left" channels that are being transmitted as "Front Left" and "Front Right". What ever the problem, the wrong channels are being bound in the stream.

 

Thank you in advance.

Gego.

Could be you gear is not set up properly. Make sure the cables are properly connected and the cords haven't come loose. Also verify whether this happens on a different device connected to the same audio system.

It is stereo.

I don't have surround sound, but the audio channels are bound wrongly on the server end.

 

Have a look at the video provided and have a listen.

 

How the can you set up stereo so wrong that it flips back and front? you can't. It is on Googles end.

 

I have listen to the video in Firefox, Chrome, and MPV, all shows the same back-to-front audio. The video is taken using the Stadia Capture functionality.

 

So, no, it is not possible for it to be wrong. I even tried to see if there was something wrong with Chrome using this: https://www2.iis.fraunhofer.de/AAC/multichannel.html

 

So no, it is not on my end. This problem arises sometime between Friday and Monday and was not present before.

 

Here is the output from ffprobe, and see that the audio is stereo:

    Stream #0:0(eng): Video: vp9 (Profile 0), yuv420p(tv, unknown/bt709/iec61966-2-1), 1920x1080, SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9, 60 fps, 60 tbr, 1k tbn, 1k tbc (default)
    Stream #0:1(eng): Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp (default)

@gegoxaren That is indeed a strange issue, do you know of anybody else in your locality who is experiencing this mismatch of audio channels? That would confirm whether it's on Google's end. Also have you tried a different device, like a mobile phone and whether the audio is proper on there?
