Does it only happen on some SB Pro cards? Or is it related to the rest of the system somehow? That it happens with some motherboards/chipsets/CPUs/whatever, but not with others?

My understanding is that this reverse stereo "bug" was present in the original Creative Labs Sound Blaster Pro, but was fixed in the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Pro II models.
However, I've come across some Sound Blaster Pro II compatible cards that exhibit the reverse stereo effect, namely the Sound Galaxy NX Pro (FCC ID: I38-SGNXPRO) and the Sound Galaxy Pro16L/Extra (FCC ID: I38-MMSN812 - mine is actually the OEM model Reveal SC400 Rev.2).

Now I own and tested these cards:
SB16 CT2950
SB16 CT2230
SB16 CT2890
ESS ES1688
Aztech SG NX Pro
Aztech SG Pro 16 ABI
Yamaha YMF719E-S
The Yamaha YMF71x is a clear winner in all aspects.
Noise: Very silent.
MPU-401+Wavetable: Bug free, Noise free.
Mixer: Functional with a nice GUI.
PnP: Easily set with a nice GUI.
PCM/Voice: After the capacitor modification the cleanest and most artifact free sound card I've heard in DOS.
OPL: Authentic OPL3.
Ironically it was my first sound card for my Pentium build, which is my only retro build...

I've never noticed an issue with stereo, but still didn't get around to really testing for it specifically.
