That's easy.
The free software player foobar2000 has a built-in DSP effect called "reverse stereo channels, done.

And here is the unavoidable traditional head-fi greeting for newbies :

Why don't you reverse the wiring from source to amp OR reverse the wiring to your speakers?

Ok. Are you using mini to mini cable? How about moving the speakers physically then?

Check the documentation and/or setup program that came with your soundcard. Depending on the card, you might have the ability to swap the channels via a configurable setting. The configurability varies from card to card, so it's impossible to give a generalized answer.

I suppose there's no way to make that:
(L speaker)...............(monitor)..............(R speaker)
..........................(i'm sitting here)

Why don't you just adjust the volume by software?

Good idea, turn up the volume knob on your speakers, and adjust volume with software, that is the easiest solution. But you serously need to move your situation around, the way you have it setup is silly.

yeah.... can't.. wiring problem... cord too short, too close to subwoofer. etc.

i guess that's the only way?
no such software driver/tweak exists? i feel like one in a million!!

What speakers are you using? Solving the wiring issue should be a better solution than software.
