YouTube TV is testing support for Dolby 5.1 surround sound on Google TV, Android TV, and Roku devices. In a tweet<\/a>, the platform said 5.1 audio will \u201claunch on those devices next\u201d if \u201ceverything runs smoothly\u201d during the test.<\/p>\n

If you were hoping to get surround sound while watching YouTube TV on your Apple TV, Fire TV, Xbox, or PlayStation, however, you\u2019ll have to wait a bit longer. The platform says it\u2019s still working \u201cinternally and with partners\u201d to get 5.1 support on these platforms. <\/p>\n

We\u2019re still working internally and with partners to enable 5.1 on Apple TV, Fire TV, and game consoles. We don\u2019t like keeping you waiting, but we\u2019re excited for you to hear 5.1 audio soon. Our current compatible devices can be found here: https:\/\/t.co\/kfARTipLUG<\/a><\/p>\n

YouTube TV currently supports 5.1 surround sound on Samsung, LG, and Vizio TVs<\/a>, as well as on traditional Chromecast streaming devices. For it to work, you\u2019ll need Cobalt version 20 or later, which you can check by selecting your profile photo in the YouTube TV app, clicking About, and then hitting App Version. It also requires a speaker system that supports 5.1 audio.<\/p>\n

Last June, YouTube TV announced that it would bring 5.1 surround sound<\/a> to \u201cselect devices.\u201d It seems the service is following through on its promise, although it\u2019s taking quite a bit of time to roll the highly anticipated feature out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
