Alright so here's an interesting problem.
Basically, my 5.1 output via HDMI from the PC to the home theater is sending sounds to the wrong speakers. I know it's not my wiring setup because all the other things wot I have connected to the amplifier send sound to their correct speakers, and the PC doesn't.
To illustrate, if I go to this window and click the test button, the graphical representation of sound coming from each speaker doesn't match the actual speaker that it comes from. If I play a game, sounds come from the wrong place relative to my viewpoint.

The left column below is the icon in that window, the right column is where the sound ends up:
L......>.....R
R......>....C
C......>....No sound
SUB..>....SL
SL....>....SR
SR....>....L
Has anyone heard of this before, and do they know of an easy fix before I start going nuts and pulling my hair out with driver updates and swapping cables and other weird shit? And yeah I checked Google to no avail.
