Official Dolby 5.1 Speaker Test Demo [True YouTube 5.1 Surround Sound]

Thought this would be a useful video for people testing YouTube's new 5.1 capabilities.
The original audio is encoded with E-AC-3 (Dolby Digital Plus)

As of 6/20, the official YouTube smart tv apps have broken support for user-uploaded 5.1 videos. You are still able to listen to surround sound content by using third-party apps such as SmartTubeNext. I will update this comment once the official apps have been fixed!

Man this sounds great on my cricket Android phone!

Finally. I’m like when Is someone going to post this type of video or reupload their old test. You’re a man of culture sir.

I have a 5.1 surround sound setup. All 5 work on the setup test tones but on this video, the surround speaker sound is coming from the corresponding front instead of rear channels. IE, right surround comes out the right front, same with left surround.

Thats very cool! Thanks you for having this on youtube!

[jojolafrite]

This works again for some reasons. At long last! I'm so happy. :)

It seems my TV decodes surround channels as a mono stream. Getting no separation on the rears. Or is that bc of YouTube's surround codec?

spot on..displayed dolby digital on my system

thank you, this sounds great on m y iphone

A bummer that left and right channel test different frequencies in this video. For a moment I thought my headphones broke. Got some Beyerdynamics MMX300 B-Ware and almost sent them back but they were fine in other tests.

This worked perfectly on my 5.1 system. With a Sound blaster audigy card and some great speakers.

good evening, I'm facing a problem and I haven't messed with it at all, the logitech speakers, the surround ones are not heard when I do a test on youtube, only the ones in front of the fronts are heard and when I test them in the PC control panel sound, can they hear what's going on done?

[magnus]

hehehe i just could not figure out my ear buds issue it was like all sound came from the opessite side. Apearantly it did, i crosed cables while fixing it with my buds making side sounds go haywire thanks for the nice test sound

[MatthewBester]

Works perfectly on my Sony HT-SS360 using S-Air 5.1 Surround setup via my Chromecast Gen 3. 👍🏻

[Matt]

Wth this actually works now! There is a 5.1 option in the settings

[nirvoamagana]

very good video I downloaded it to my apple mp3 player and listen to it on the bus ride home to my village in central slovakia

[Vntilator]

This doesn't work from YouTube. Stereo sound only.
If i use a 5.1 test file natively in Windows 10 with MPC, i also get sound in surround speakers.
I also get 5.1 in PC Games, so 5.1 on YouTube is broken as all test videos there have 2.0 output.

Please help me, I'm looking for the TWS inears with the deepest bass, it has to be boom and make my head explode. Really fat. And the TWS should be loud too. Which ones are the best?

[ROCKANDROLL]

I like it on my Bose earbuds 😊 love it

I can’t seem to get 5.1 surround sound to work on Youtube. Right surround is right and left surround is left. Actually, my received tells me it’s a Stereo recording.
