Pipewire V.0.3.76 Kills Surround Again Like The Previous 0.3.71
The title itself says it all. BE SURE to back up with Timeshift if you decide to install the update. I just rolled mine back to the latest working version - 0.3.63. After installing said versions, if I do a speaker test, all work normally. But if I play some sound source, for example music, only the front speakers play and only a slight noise is heard in the rear speakers. This also happens when watching movies or any other sound source.
The return of version 0.3.63 also restores sound in the rear speakers. It doesn't matter if I use the currently built-in SB Audigy or another sound card. I also tested with CM106 - USB 7.1 surround card - the effect is the same - only the front speakers play.
