reversing stereo

Rather than buy an extension lead I thought I would reverse the channels in pulse audio by changing the entry in daemon.conf

; default-sample-format = s16le
; default-sample-rate = 44100
; alternate-sample-rate = 48000
; default-sample-channels = 2
; default-channel-map = front-left,front-right

to

[FONT=monospace]; default-sample-format = s16le
; default-sample-rate = 44100
; alternate-sample-rate = 48000
; default-sample-channels = 2
; default-channel-map = front-right, [/FONT][FONT=monospace][FONT=monospace][FONT=monospace]front-left[/FONT]
[/FONT]
but after restart (reboot just to make sure) testing the channels in KDE shows they are unchanged

Help or advice gratefully received.

Although this is openSUSE, the archlinux wiki is often your friend… Welcome to the openSUSE forums :)…

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PulseAudio/Examples#Swap_left/right_channels

Try removing the semicolon on the last line:

; default-sample-format = s16le
; default-sample-rate = 44100
; alternate-sample-rate = 48000
; default-sample-channels = 2
default-channel-map = front-right, front-left

Then run

killall pulseaudio

The semicolons indicate that the line is commented and will therefore be ignored.

thank you for help
