    5.1 to 2.0 downmixing helps this A LOT.

    My TV has only 2.0 but almost all movies on Jellyfin are 5.1 or 7.1. Thankfully there are a few plugins that downmix multi-channel audio to stereo making watching experience a lot more better. Doesn’t work perfectly, but way better than without.

    Now, I want some sort of a browser-wide plugin if there is one. Sometimes I do watch yarr streaming sites that also have audio in 5.1. Is there anything like this?

      btw you can select this in gnome settings -> sound -> configuration.

      also, if it’s mono and you hear it only on one side of the headphones, you can fix it best using the balance setting of your player, so the rest of the system will be unaffected.
