There is a sound positioning issue in the game after the latest Windows update (26220.7934)


After updating Windows to version 25H2 (Windows Insider build 26220.7934), I started experiencing an audio positioning issue in Valorant while using my headset. The left and right audio channels seem to be reversed. For example, sounds that should come from the left side are heard in my right ear, and sounds from the right side are heard in my left ear.
This made it difficult to accurately determine the direction of footsteps and other in-game sounds.
After unplugging the headset and plugging it back in, the audio returned to normal.
Headset Mchose G9.

So I understand the problem has been solved by that?
