I have 4 internal speakers, but the sound caomes out of only front 2

As the tag suggests, I can't figure out a solution to that problem every search i made for the past month is directing to config files that do not exist. I use pipewire and pipewire-pulse with wireplumber. If any one can point me to a correct config file where those changes can be made, i greatly appreciate it, i looked in every pipewire, wireplumber and alsa folder i could think of and di not find anything useful fir that. I am using Garuda Drogonized on Asus N550J laptop with kernel 5.17. The kde audio test program does see 4 speakers, but the sound only comes out of 2. Alsa mixer shows master front and master rear.

P.S. If any of you experienced an error with pipewire:

pipewire[45384]: spa.alsa: set_hw_params: cannot allocate memory

Then here is the solution that worked for me:

echo 2048 | sudo tee /proc/asound/card*/pcm*/prealloc

Thank you in advance for your help!

Post your garuda-inxi, as instructed, please.
