As technology evolves, so do our entertainment options. One of the latest innovations is 5.1 surround sound, which allows viewers to fully immerse themselves in their favorite shows and movies. If you’re a YouTube TV user, you may be wondering how to enable 5.1 surround sound on your device. In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know to get up and running on Google TV, Android TV, and Roku.

First, it’s important to note that not all content on YouTube TV supports 5.1 surround sound. However, more and more programs are being released with this option, so it’s worth enabling if you have the capability. To get started, make sure your device is set up and connected to the internet.

Google TV

If you’re using Google TV, the process of enabling 5.1 surround sound is relatively simple. First, launch the YouTube TV app on your device. Next, open the menu by pressing the “hamburger” button on your remote. From there, select “Settings” and then “Picture and Sound.” Scroll down until you see the “Surround Sound” option and toggle it on. You should now be able to enjoy 5.1 surround sound on YouTube TV.

Android TV

For Android TV users, the process is similar to Google TV. Start by opening the YouTube TV app and pressing the “hamburger” button on your remote. From there, select “Settings” and then “Audio” to access the audio settings menu. Toggle the “Surround Sound” option to on and enjoy your favorite shows and movies in 5.1 surround sound.

Roku

If you have a Roku device, the process of enabling 5.1 surround sound on YouTube TV is a bit more complicated. Unfortunately, not all Roku devices support this feature, so you’ll need to check if yours does before proceeding. Once you’ve confirmed that your device supports 5.1 surround sound, launch the YouTube TV app and press the “star” button on your remote. From there, select “Settings” and navigate to the “Audio” tab. Toggle the “Surround Sound” option to on and you should be all set.
