Google’s streaming service YouTube TV has been testing Dolby 5.1 surround sound on Google TV, Android TV, and Roku devices.
YouTube TV said on its official Twitter, “If everything runs smoothly, we can expect 5.1 audio to launch on those devices next.” Last June, the service provider announced that it would bring 5.1 surround sound to select devices.
Those who hope to get surround sound while watching YouTube TV on their Apple TV, Fire TV, Xbox, or PlayStation will have to wait a bit longer, The Hindu reported.
The streaming service provider is working internally and with partners to bring 5.1 support to these platforms. Currently, the support is available on Samsung, LG, and Vizio TVs.
