Missing audio channels, AUX port not working

A recent update caused issues with my audio.
The built-in speakers of my lenovo yoga 7 are no longer playing audio on all 6 channels, only two. On top of that, the aux port stopped working.

The only way I can still hear sound is when I set “Ryzen HD Audio Controller Speaker” in system settings to "Play HiFi quality Music(Mic1, Mic2, Speaker). I can only hear the first front channels of audio in that case. Switching to “Pro Audio” makes it stop working.
Also, all of the other controllers:“Radeon High Definition Audio Controller Pro”, “[…] Controller Pro 7”, “[…] Controller Pro 8” don’t output sound, not sure what their purpose is.

I am running Pipewire and pipewire-pulse 1.4.10.

Welcome to Fedora @user111

Please try to boot with an older kernel and see if the audio works as usual.

If yes, please give us the information as asked here:

So we can see with which hardware you exactly get this issue.

Same problem on my Lenovo ThinkBook 16p G6 IAX, only the tweeters are working and the perceived volume is very low. Headphone works correctly.

Fedora 43, tried with 6.18.7-200.fc43.x86_64 and 6.17.1-300.fc43.x86_64.

pipewire-1.4.10-1.fc43.x86_64
