What codec/format is the audio stream (gst-discoverer-1.0 -v file.mkv)?

And what decoder is being used in your case? (see output of gst-play-
1.0 -v or gst-launch-1.0 -v)

Is the decoder outputting 2 channels or 6 channels?

It might be that this is caused by e.g. AC-3 audio being downmixed to 2
channels improperly.
