I am helping a friend reinstalling his Lenovo thinkpad laptop.
I have just installed Openmandriva Rome plasma slim.
He has a 5.1 suroundsound connected through hdmi.
I can get sound from the front speaker but not the rear when I try youtube and netflix in waterfox and ungoogled chromium.
If I use the test buttons in systemsettings the voice sounds in the rear speakers.
Is there someone who can help me with this?
Thanks.
EDIT
It works fine in smplayer.
Why not web browser?
I really hope someone can help me.
It would really be appreciated.
You are probably going to have to look around in a search engine about how to configure 5.1 surround with pipewire based on your current setup. Since none of the support template was used and you did not provide any other information, we can’t really help you.
That was pretty dumb of me. It sounds to me like its working on the system, but not from the browsers. There used to be flags or config settings in blink and gecko browsers respectively, but they seem to be deprecated. I have a simple vanilla system with just stereo, so I can’t help. I wish the OP luck.
I have tried ungoogled chromium that comes with rome plasma slim and waterfix.
I have not tried anyone else. I will perhaps try firedragon.
I wont try firefox because firefox that can sell your data.
I perhaps will try brave but it often have glitches when gpu acceleration is turned on. When it’s turned off it usally is unusable because I often work with older hardware.
But it will be later today. It is in the middle of the night (02:43/2:43 am) and I am home right now.
You need to read the following and provide more information or this will be moved out of Support to Coffee break
There often isn’t a single type of config, setting, or button that solves the situation for every single person. It doesn’t matter if the distribution is OpenMandriva or anything else. They are going to ask you to post things needed to assist you properly.
Keep in mind stereo sources will only be reproduced from the front left and right speakers unless you enable upmix, for example this is my config section:
