Hello everyone, I'm facing a problem with my new Logitech G Pro X headset. During sound tests on YouTube, everything works fine, but when playing games like CS:GO, the 3D audio reverses. Sounds meant to come from the right end appear on the left side of my headphones, and it happens similarly in Fortnite. I don't want to wear them backwards because my microphone isn't designed for that. I've tried updating the GHUB app, reinstalling it, and updating the drivers, but the issue persists. Can someone suggest a better solution?

Typically, each game has its own digital surround setup. It could be that the headset drivers and the in-game audio are conflicting. Make sure to adjust the in-game audio settings.

I believe this was likely the fix for CSGO at least. I adjusted the game settings to turn off 3D audio, audio effects, and surround sound in the Windows setting for my headset. Now I can hear footsteps and other in-game sounds more clearly. I’ll continue testing similar issues in other games soon, but thank you for resolving this one.
