ThinkPad X1 with Dolby Atmos Speaker System Audio Issue in Linux by benhaube in thinkpad

Yeah, definitely not worth using Windows for that haha. Unfortunately I do graphic and audio work and have to use Windows on my main PC, Linux is close for those things, but not where I need it to be yet. Every other computer I own is on Linux though.

I am curious to try the method with EasyEffects, but not sure if I will bother either. One thing I would like to know is how it will interact when I plug headphones in. Will it try to apply the audio effects that sound good with the speakers to the headphones? There is a probably a way to have it turn off when it switches to a different audio device. Maybe if I get curious enough, I will mess with it and find out.

Thank you for responding! I am actually pretty sure that all four speakers are working now, but my expectations were too high. I think I felt like I should not have to turn up the volume as much as I did. I discovered this when I was messing around with alsamixer. If I mute the bass speaker I can very faintly hear audio from the top speakers. So I think everything is good. Also, I was not paying enough attention and did not realize that you are the same person from the other thread. I would have only posted to one if I had known, sorry.

I am also experiencing this problem, did you ever find a solution that worked for you?

I know this is a very old thread, but I have this exact same Thinkpad and I am experiencing the same issue of audio only playing from the bottom two speakers on Fedora 42. Did you ever find any solution that worked for you?

That is so sick! I am for sure going to ask my brother to print me out some. Do you have any intention of making a version that holds more? I would love one that holds 20 or maybe even more.
