Sound only comes from bottom speakers
Hi. I have an HP Spectre X360, and for some reason, only in Arch Linux, my laptop fires sound only from the bottom speakers, but not from the top ones. The top speakers work fine on Windows. This problem occurred only recently. Is there any fix?

Yeah it does show up in the kennel since I've tried evtest and it tests for both front (bottom) and back (top) speakers.

Re: Sound only comes from bottom speakers
As it turns out it is a problem with the hardware not being supported by the kernel. I plan on submitting a proposal to fix this issue.

Re: Sound only comes from bottom speakers
This sounds like a PipeWire/WirePlumber profile or audio routing issue, especially since the top speakers work normally in Windows. I’d check `wpctl status` and `pavucontrol` to see if the correct speaker profile is selected. Also worth checking whether a recent kernel or PipeWire/WirePlumber update caused the change.
