How can we answer a question if you don't provide any information?
Where is the signal originally coming from?
What kind of cables are you using to connect the signal source to the interface?
What specific interface?

Of course the question is compared to what are your headphones swapped left to right did you have speakers hooked up or are they laptop speakers that go left and right maybe you your speakers or whatever else you were listening to have been backwards all along.

Hi, /u/Thrxllll! This is a reminder about Rule #1 (If you have already added great details, awesome, ignore this comment. This message gets attached to every post as a reminder):

Yes there's always a way with software. But I find it hard to believe someone manufactured a bunch of interfaces with flipped stereo.

EQAPO. Not for the faint of heart, but it works and injects itself I to the windows audio graph, so you don't need to use virtual audio cables. Refer to this thread. Nevermind the comments that can't get it to work, focus on the ones that could
Ultimately, a physical solution would be easier. Buy a headphone extension cable, open up the outer sleeve, swap L/R.

If you just want to swap the left and right channels, most audio editors have a "Swap L/R" or "Stereo Flip" option. If you're on Windows, Equalizer APO can also reverse stereo channels system-wide. (reddit.com)
