Audio only outputting stereo even when setting to 5.1 or 7.1
It really is a headache and madness as you say. I’ve been trying to identify exactly which of those two configs solved it for me and 5.1 audio is still working after removing both of them… I’m confused now because I’m sure it started working after creating those config files couple of months ago.

‘/home/bazzite’ is probably correct. ‘username’ was supposed to be a placeholder for whatever the name of your user is. Sorry. That wasn’t very clear.
I’m pretty sure I created the ‘wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d’ directories myself.

I hope what I provided above helps and at least points you in the right direction. This is under the assumption that you're all using the HDMI ports on your GPUs for audio.

'lspci' lists the following for my GPU, so I used 03:00.1 for the audio device:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 31 [Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX/7900 GRE/7900M] (rev c8)
03:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Navi 31 HDMI/DP Audio

You'll probably need to find the address of your GPU and replace mine (0000_03_00.1) where 'device.name' is being set. I think I used 'lspci' to do that.

I didn't need to wait until tomorrow.
I have two config files under '/home/username/.config/wireplumber/wireplumber.conf.d'. I'm not sure if both are necessary and/or which one actually solved the problem for me. My guess is that 'device.name' and 'device.profile' are the relevant parts and that you can omit where 'device.profile.description' and 'device.profile.name' are being set. The files are called '61-surround.conf' and '76-surround.conf' but I think they can be called anything.
One contains:
monitor.alsa.rules = [
{
matches = [
{
device.name = "alsa_card.pci-0000_03_00.1"
}
]
actions = {
update-props = {
device.profile = "hdmi-surround-extra1"
device.profile.description = "Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI 2)"
device.profile.name = "hdmi-surround-extra1"
}
}
}
]
And the other has:
monitor.alsa.rules = [
{
matches = [
{
node.name = "alsa_output.pci-0000_03_00.1.hdmi-surround-extra1"
}
]
actions = {
update-props = {
device.profile = "hdmi-surround-extra1"
}
}
}
]

I’ll take a look at what config files I created for wireplumber when I have access to my desktop tomorrow.

I had the same problem where it kept switching the audio back to stereo in game mode.
I don’t fully remember what I did but I made the following note after I solved it.
“Had to create some config files for wireplumber to match the device name and to set the profile for it.

MangoHud displaying the wrong GPU in SteamOS game mode
Solved by disabling the iGPU in the bios. Don’t be like me and assume it isn’t possible to disable the iGPU if you can’t find the setting. I should’ve RTFM for my motherboard.

MangoHud displaying the wrong GPU in SteamOS game mode
The ‘sensors’ command is displaying my GPU with the fan and temps updating, so it isn’t because the sensors can’t be detected by the OS.
I think steamos-session is generating its own configs for MangoHud. I can see it’s creating files under ‘/tmp/mangohud.xxxxx’.
