Where did the "Reverse Stereo" option go under the Sound Card settings?

Q: Why I need Reverse Stereo?
A: My speakers are set up all backwards; left speaker is right, and vice versa. Because they're very heavy, I can't move them since it was already a huge headache to set them up.

Now, to explain my issue; I can't seem to find the "Reverse Stereo" option in the Sound Card settings. It used to be in older versions. Where did it go?

Attached are screenshots of the Sound Card settings in OpenMPT 1.32 and OpenMPT 1.19, respectively.

It was removed because it simply doesn't make any sense to solve this on the application level. Asking the creators of x different programs that deal with audio to solve the problems of reversing your speakers simply doesn't scale. If your speakers are heavy, that usually means that they also have individual cables going to them, what stops you from reversing the cabling setup instead?

I've tried that, but no matter what, it simply doesn't work. I've used different cables too, not even they work. My amplifier is from 1968, and my speakers are from 1990, if that helps with anything.

Unless your amplifier or speakers defy the laws of physics, swapping the cables going out of your amplifier should fix the problem. If it doesn't, I don't know how to help you, but that is still a general problem of your audio setup, not a problem specific to OpenMPT so it should be fixed outside of OpenMPT.

I'll try cable swapping again, and if it doesn't work, I'll go through the back-crushing pain of swapping the speakers around. Will update when possible.
