I just got done installing CachyOS after a 3 week nightmare. It works now and everything seems like it's working OK, except for my audio. I have a 5.1 speaker setup and CachyOS doesn't send the LFE signal to the sub correctly. Instead, it splits it across all the speakers, making it sound weird and almost inaudible. In Windows, this is fixed by checking a box labeled "bass management" in the audio properties. In Arch, or possibly all Linux, it requires multiple arcane rituals, none of which I've gotten to work right, not in the least because the documentation for the fixes is often incomplete or outright directs you to use options that simply don't exist in the software. I don't understand why this couldn't have also been a checkbox here. At this point, it's the last remaining hurdle that's stopping me from switching to Linux full time.
