Mixing the left and right audio channel using pipewire

I'm really sensitive to audio on just one side of my headphones for some reason and I get really triggered when audio is on only one side, so I was thinking to do something to automate me mixing the left and right channels of my headphones in qpwgraph, but I have no idea how to do it.

I do NOT want mono audio, this is mixing left and right which would hopefully lose less quality (and be doable in percentages, so I could only transfer 80% audio to the other side to hear it, meaning i can still make out when audio is on one side)

Does anyone have any documentation that would let me make something like this? I couldn't really find anything related to pipewire that explains it well.

Re: Mixing the left and right audio channel using pipewire

If it's just about the per channel volume you can mix that already in any pulse volume tool, e.g. pavucontrol and friends, or

pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ 50%,70%

or so.

If that's not it, maybe elaborate on what you want exactly, maybe with an concrete example that you feel sounds off where how and why.
