One of the details that make televisions produced in recent years special is that they work with operating systems such as Android. In the past, televisions used only satellite receivers to watch the broadcasts of traditional media, but this situation has changed in recent years. Many people now buy television to watch digital media on the big screen. YouTube TV, one of the most frequently visited applications by smart television users, will offer a better experience on large screens with 5.1 sound support.
YouTube TV gains 5.1 audio support
Watching videos in high resolutions like 4K is a completely different experience. In recent years, manufacturers have been focusing on this and racing to deliver the best image. Audio technologies such as Dolby Atmos are also technologies that complement the screen quality. However, there was an audio feature that YouTube had been missing until this time. Support for 5.1 audio is just becoming available in the YouTube app on TV.
Although the app could be used with 5.1 sound systems, it could not offer the true experience. This was purely due to a software defect, and it’s nice to see 5.1 technology finally coming to YouTube, providing a great experience when supported.
If you have a 5.1 surround sound system in your home and you want to use it effectively on YouTube, there are a few steps. First of all, your TV should not be too old, because the latest versions of YouTube can only be installed on non-old Android TVs. Updating the YouTube app should be the first thing to do if you don’t have compatibility issues.

After updating, you should connect the sound system to your TV. After that, 5.1 support will be active. However, it is not possible to get this experience in every video. 5.1 is only available for supported videos. You can observe how the sound system works by opening the 5.1 surround test videos on YouTube.
