When playing a video with 5.1 channel audio, instead on separate sound on all speakers. the audio is mixed, maybe converted to stereo and all speakers output same sound.

It is converted to stereo sound. I don't know how to test >2 channels, do you know how?

Hi Wang,

I currently trying to enable 5.1 audio. I tweaked your code a little bit but cant get it to work. Could you guide or give a hint where to start.

@antonynadz Did you succeed in enabling 5.1 sound? I would like to use surround sound as well
