Swap stereo speakers using ALSA [SOLVED]

I want to Swap the left and right channels on my stereo speakers. I'm not using pulse audio. Just plain old ALSA. Can someone help?

Re: Swap stereo speakers using ALSA [SOLVED]

Just generally,

pcm.dmix.bindings {
   0 1
   1 0
}

should lead to that if I'm reading https://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/a … ugins_dmix right. There's a few other things you could do if you wanted to get more fancy but that should just change the default dmix config to swap channels.

See e.g. https://superuser.com/a/59488 for another method.

Thanks. The first example results in no sound but the superuser one works.
