I have installed EasyEffects and I have set up the Stereo tools effect with the stereo matrix reversed. When I set Easy Effects Sink as my main output device in KDE plasma settings it works, it's flipped correctly. But the EasyEffects program says the following in the screenshot

You should be using the normal input and outputs, easyeffects injects itself into the audio chain for the default outputs/inputs. While the sink/source works, that's not the intended way to use it and it can cause funky issues with other devices

That's what I'm trying to do. I've set my headphones as the default
The first one in the list is the selected one which is the headphones

So what's the issue here?
sly edge
The issue is that I have my headphones selected as you can see in the screenshot
And my output is flipped (i hear what's on the right on the left earbud)
and vice versa
I applied a filter to swap the audio channels using a plugin in easy effects (Stereo tools)
And when I click on 'Test' in the above screenshot for the Easy Effects Sink device it's correct, I can hear the right audio on the right earbud, left audio on left earbud
This also means I can't apply any EQ because the default output is not being 'passed into' the sink

What do you have the source and sinks set to in easyeffects.
sly edge
tried deselecting default output and manually seelcting headphones
still doesnt work
This is the preferences screen from the menu in the nav bar on the top

Do you have a wire graph like qpwgraph or cable installed

I set launch service as system startup recently, should I try rebooting now and seeing if it applies?
ocean knoll
You can try

Do you have a wire graph like qpwgraph or cable installed
I dont know what that is

Logging out should be sufficient

does helvum work on kde
ocean knoll
No reason it shouldn't.

What does this package do exactly
ocean knoll
Just a convenient way of viewing how your audio chain is wired together. There are a couple of options. This won't fix the issue itself.
sly edge
Hm Im not able to get it working
I guess Ill set it to sink device
Fuck it
It's a bit disappointing that this is so complex to fix, and I have no idea why my audio channels are swapped anyway? On windows it always was correct

I'm not really in a position to sit down and debug it, 
It could be a trivial bug but who knows
