It is NOT soothing! My computer will get them to play on the test tones correctly. But on YT I'm outta luck. What I get for trying to add a fairly new Vizio smart TV from the trash. LG monitors and Sony 5.1 sound don't like it.

Unfortunately KZbin stopped streaming surround sound (5.1) some time in 2019, so this clip will actually be stereo. If you play the clip you will find the sound coming out of all of your 5.1 system speakers. I do not blame the person uploading who will have taken time and care to create a 5.1 clip BUT KZbin must face criticism for not telling them that the sound will be downgraded to basic stereo. You cannot easily test 5.1 Channel configuration using KZbin content, all those beautiful Dolby Atmos clips are also just stereo now unless uploaded by paying companies (for advertising) such as Dolby itself! edit note: PLEASE NOTE - MY REPLY ABOVE WAS POSTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND THINGS CHANGE. THERE IS NOW (in 2024) considerable 5.1 surround content as well as 7.1 and Dolby Atmos. Replies to my post above, for example from Nuna07ngente, claiming KZbin has not stopped, or that I am simply wrong should recognise timing. KZbin appears to change policies and handling, so for a period of time it downgraded audio on some clips or for some users/markets and the policy has since changed. This is why it is advisable to look at the age of any content ! :) thanks

Which software make stereo to 5.1 (upscale)

[@Bharatverse308]

[@AF_1892]

I will fix this issue hopefully before an answer. For a Sony 5.1 Blue ray player, I forget....I send tunes to it from PC mostly. I'm thinking the unit does not want windows adjusting anything. That the Sony is the boss. I sick of restarting. Geez I just wanted to reposition things!

[@flamethrower82]

@@AF_1892 There's two major problems: 1. the original song was released in stereo sound (studios often downmix audio for music and music videos) 2. If you had access to the original 5.1, then you would have to decode it. Sony and Dolby make it a royal pain in the ass to encode/decode 5.1 audio. If indies could stop the infighting long enough, maybe they could come up with an alternative like they did Creative Commons. Trust me, setting a DAW to 5.1 takes up plenty of audio bandwidth alone, and then the encoding requires special software that's usually Mac-only. Many software decoders can decode DVD tracks into an AAC file, but you would still need access to the raw 5.1 files.

[@flamethrower82]

That's what really bummed me out when Sony bought out SRS Labs. SRS was supposed to be an alternative technology that could provide surround sound with any speaker set, and they were fairly unrestricted in their use. They encouraged people and manufacturers to try SRS. The music industry just couldn't let us have anything easily. @@AF_1892

Yes, KZbin stopped streaming surround sound a while ago. All clips will be stereo at best. I do not blame the people posting clips as they may have uploaded a clip with 5.1 sound, unfortunately KZbin will have downgraded to stereo so it will not work. I hate to think of the number of people using the clip who think their soundbar is broken. KZbin must be criticised for allowing all the Dolby Atmos clips etc to remain, which now no longer actually work!
