Sennheiser GSX 1000 - unable to use surround mode

The Sennheiser is a external USB soundcard that is able to act as a surround-device and output it on headphones.

I'm only getting stereo output and switching to the profile "mono chat + virtual 7.1 surround" yields me no sound.

If I run on pulseaudio it works as intended.

% pipewire --version

Compiled with libpipewire 0.3.22
Linked with libpipewire 0.3.22

This is what I get from pipewire if I run it from terminal:
