Linux noob question edit : i was wrong they were stereo, i managed to make a pseudo surround with a pipewire conf, thank you all 💜💜💜

hi fedi, nko_wave
could you help me please ? nko_embarrass

I have two monitors that have embed audio (through hdmi), is there a simple way to use them as "left" and "right" speakers as a single stereo device ?

if it matters for the answer, i know they can be used at the same time by my computer and they both are mono (they are the same model).

thank you so much !! nko_kiss_heart

@MeloGem it's possible to combine to outputs i.e. sinks into one.
So you create a third sink which combines both that gets set as an output.
The Pipewire manual tells more:
docs.pipewire.org/page_module_combine_stream.html
I'm assuming pipewire, there wasn't much information about your setup.
There are also various guys for it that might make this easier.

re: Linux noob question @ArtistSynth @MeloGem you can save the graph and autolaunch qpwgraph at start, or configure through config files but its not really user friendly

re: Linux noob question @makecleannotwar @ArtistSynth

I used the 5.1 example in this page docs.pipewire.org/page_module_combine_stream.html

Except i did a 4.0 and instead of something like

combine.audio.position = [ FL FR ]
audio.position = [ FL FR ]

Since each device is already left or right I did

combine.audio.position = [ FL FR ]
audio.position = [ SR FR ]

and so on, far from a real surround since it's more like bottom right and top right but it at least gives some volume.

Now the problem is the lack of low frequencies..
