Default It's the OUTPUT that gets phase inverted under ***VISTA*** (not XP)

The quick FFT test proves that there is no change except polarity in

If your speakers don't work like speakers, all bets are off. The
assumption is that the speaker is linear at least to the extent that
one polarity makes the cone move outward from the center position and
the opposite polarity makes it move inward.

Becasue I obtained different results by moving my head. One time the
first polarity appeared to have more bass, the next time the second
polarity appeared to have more bass.


Well then don't move your head. Or better yet, disconnect one speaker.
When you add in room effects, you disturb the experiment. This is not
about stereo, it's about polarity and speaker cone motion.

Deny it if you will, but it's real.


Can't you fix this Vista polarity inversion thing by just turning your
computer upside down?
