It is a weird problem. Normally I'd expect one side to go over the other, but it's like the wires have become crossed somehow and the channels getting mixed.
I have a replacement cable coming in the post tomorrow, so I'll see what comes of that.
]]>It's like my sound is almost in mono, but not quite.
This happens on every application and is noticeable when using the headphone test in gnome control settings or test tone in easyeffects. I can't see any easyeffects are applied and when clicking the global bypass there is no difference.
This is a pastebin with what I think are the relevant config files - https://pastebin.com/k8x0hgZL
journalctl --user -b -u pipewire-pulse or pipwire doesn't show anything except to say that they started successfully.
I tried clearing out ~/.config/pipewire and ~/.config/pulse but it didn't help.
These are my installed packages relating to pipewire:
~ pacman -Qs pipewire
local/easyeffects 6.1.3-1
Audio Effects for Pipewire applications
local/gst-plugin-pipewire 1:0.3.38-1
Multimedia graph framework - pipewire plugin
local/libpipewire02 0.2.7-2
Low-latency audio/video router and processor - legacy client library
local/pipewire 1:0.3.38-1
Low-latency audio/video router and processor
local/pipewire-media-session 1:0.3.38-1
Low-latency audio/video router and processor - Session manager
local/pipewire-pulse 1:0.3.38-1
Low-latency audio/video router and processor - PulseAudio replacement
I get the same issue if I switch to pulseaudio temporarily. I also tried downgrading pipewire related packages to 1:0.3.37 but it didn't help.
I'm using Gnome and a fully up to date Arch install.
Thanks.
