In OS X, how do you change which external speaker in left and which is right?

I have some JBL speakers plugged into my macbook pro, and my speaker orientation is different to what it is supposed to be, as in left is right and right is left, and I cant move the speakers, so how can I change the settings for this?In OS X, how do you change which external speaker in left and which is right?
Hi !



If your speakers get plugged by the so called ';mini-jack'; connection , thats the headphone connection, you speakers menu will stay the same , meaning that you have an analog connection and cannot within MAC OSX possibilities change the speaker setup except reorganising them.



That means you have to put the left speaker on the left and the right speaker on the right.



If you have the possibilty to connect your speaker system by USB (like Bose Companion 5 for example) then you get an advanced Audio Menu where you can designate wich speaker is where , but thats usually only the possibilty for 5.1 or higher Speaker Systems.



If you have 2 or a 2.1 with an analogue connection there is nothing you can do.
