Sound channels are swapped - MBP 16,1 with Fedora 34

sxiii opened this issue · comments

Greetings.

I've just found out that after updating from F32 to F34 my audio channels on MBP16,1 are swapped this way:

  • Front-Center channel outputs to Front-Right
  • Front-Right channel outputs to Front-Center

I was going to find how to do remapping in Pipewire configuration and was reading Pipewire Wiki as well as Arch wiki on Pipewire, and was unable to find information on how to change channel mapping.

I also was trying to use alsamixer as usual to control the volume levels of a different audio zones; but it just sees device "Pipewire" and does not allow me to control volume levels.

Any suggestions are welcomed. Meanwhile thinking of rolling back to Pulseaudio with sudo dnf swap --allowerasing pipewire-pulseaudio pulseaudio or using Jack to make manual channel arrangements.

Please follow this readme to fix the audio on MBP16,1, it will be in default branch soon ;)

@mikeeq I've followed the tutorial a long time ago; but my MBP channel swap is still there; both with PulseAudio and Pipewire. Here are more details: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pipewire/pipewire/-/issues/1417 - I've really tried so much. Audio works; but the channels are jumping all over the place on both PulseAudio and Pipewire. Don't know how to fix that.
