Hello, tell me why the 5.1 surround sound does not turn on. The set-top box is connected via optics to the edifier s760d, the sound track comes with 5.1 sound, but in fact it is a normal stereo. Why don't you tell me?

 

I would like to know also how to enable 5.1 surround..

You'll have to wait for the dev to discuss audio passthrough

Greetings. It turns out this is still software restrictions? Will there be support for 5.1 surround sound in the future?

We will review this issue internally and update the status on it here.

Thanks

My 5.1 surround has worked from the start(my start) in July.

Did you ever find out how to enable surround 5.1?

So to update on this bug that was reported.
 

We looked into this.
We found out Audio Passthrough for 5.1 Audio was broken on the Linux Kernel.

We were able to fix it and can confirm it works via SPDIF (U5 + X5s) and HDMI for Passthrough
We tried it on the Buzz 5 App + Plex + Kodi + VLC.

Were just doing some more testing on it, but everything looks good so far
So we will include this fix on our next OTA update scheduled for early November.
