@dougiec3 @punishmenthurts @shyestrange @roknrol I know the device it's connected to is more than capable of outputting the suround. I didn't think it would do it with the headphones, as it was made for games, but it definitely does.... but some movies, including some I know had surround, just give me stereo. This happens more often from streaming services. Most DVDs and Bluray are as surroundy as expected.

@dougiec3 @punishmenthurts @shyestrange @roknrol Also, movies with working surround on disc that I ripped correctly to my server, also play fine via the app on that same device.

@dougiec3 @punishmenthurts @shyestrange @roknrol "Surroundy as expected" takes in to account this headphone set up is probably faking it. It does surprisingly well at faking it though.

@dougiec3 @punishmenthurts @shyestrange @roknrol That same device allows me to try faking it via my TVs speakers. Curiously, I gave that a try. Oh that was LAUGHABLY bad!

There’s a setting on the cable box for the pseudo sort, in case you have it pugged into a stereo - and that recently messed with me horribly, killed my Extended Stereo. Doesn’t say “pseudo,” or anything, just “surround.”
