Thought this would be a useful video for people testing RU-vid's new 5.1 capabilities. The original audio is encoded with E-AC-3 (Dolby Digital Plus) For educational purposes only!
As of 6/20, the official RU-vid smart tv apps have broken support for user-uploaded 5.1 videos. You are still able to listen to surround sound content by using third-party apps such as SmartTubeNext. I will update this comment once the official apps have been fixed!
And also works through my ccwgtv comes up as the same specifications. It's been working for me for months...maybe RU-vid is taking a while to turn 5.1 on for all compatible videos?
This doesn't work from RU-vid. Stereo sound only. If i use a 5.1 test file natively in Windows 10 with MPC, i also get sound in surround speakers. I also get 5.1 in PC Games, so 5.1 on RU-vid is broken as all test videos there have 2.0 output.
I have a 5.1 surround sound setup. All 5 work on the setup test tones but on this video, the surround speaker sound is coming from the corresponding front instead of rear channels. IE, right surround comes out the right front, same with left surround.
hehehe i just could not figure out my ear buds issue it was like all sound came from the opessite side. Apearantly it did, i crosed cables while fixing it with my buds making side sounds go haywire thanks for the nice test sound
@@akyhne My computer is just another component in my home theater system. My "computer monitor" is a 65" OLED. The audio from the computer is run through a high end surround processor and then an amplifier, then to full-blown home stereo/surround speakers. Of course, gaming on it is the bee's knees....
@@batman.darthmaul I was just curious to what audio setup you have. I can't seem to find a decent set of surround speakers, for PC. My audio card is not that high end, just a Soundblaster Z.
@@akyhne I was lucky enough to buy the Logitech X-530 set when it was new back in the day. They've been great for simple computer speakers! Sorry they aren't made anymore, but there are probably similar options.
A bummer that left and right channel test different frequencies in this video. For a moment I thought my headphones broke. Got some Beyerdynamics MMX300 B-Ware and almost sent them back but they were fine in other tests.
@@gamagama69It probably just sounds like it works for the center channel. Check if it's not just because left and right are playing the exact same audio. That would give the same effect.
I found this online. I'm quoting it in two separate posts, as RU-vid tends to remove links, but the video ID is YEvROdECGDw: "Try adding one of these: --try-supported-channel-layouts --force-wave-audio --disable-audio-output-resampler to the target path of the shortcut that's on your desktop. will look something like this: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --try-supported-channel-layouts The top one worked for me. Got the info from this video"
Bruh what the fuck are you talking about, this is definitely 5.1 Dolby Digital Content and is playing correctly on my Sonos AMP with all channels except Center which is streamed to both left and right to create a phantom channel. Chromecast Ultra with eARC Sonos Amp
Thanks for the onfo. I am thinking maybe it just sounds backwards. The rest of the test its accurate, all of my games, movies etc are all correct. Im thinking just my poor judgement cant tell? Does sound good either way. Thanks again! @@jehorigby8778
RU-vid broke their official client support for 5.1 audio on user-uploaded videos about a week ago. I'm still waiting on a response to see if there is a time frame for it to be added again. You are still able to use third-party RU-vid players to listen to the surround sound such as SmartTubeNext on Android TV devices. Sorry about that!
@@jacobdoesaudio Only on mobile devices and TVs where audio is generally stereo or mono... It's paradoxical, but you could say it's "smart" on Google's part. However, it doesn't make sense that it can't be experienced on a PC, where it's more likely that people have multichannel audio.
@@playnicegames So here’s what I’ve figured out. I have a few ways to play surround/Atmos content in my studio and I've confirmed my results. My files are correctly encoded and still stored as 5.1 on RU-vid servers, but the official RU-vid app broke support for 5.1 on user-uploaded content as of Saturday. On Android TVs, you can use “SmartTubeNext” (worth checking out regardless), and it plays back the user-uploaded 5.1 correctly in all of RU-vid's 5.1 compressed audio formats. “My Scientology Movie” works because it’s an official Google upload for the “RU-vid Movies & Shows” platform. Along with that, RU-vid TV's surround sound content still works. I’ll stay updated on this issue and see if there’s a fix. If you want me to, I can reply to this comment chain when I have more information on the future of user-uploaded 5.1 content. Sorry!
Please help me, I'm looking for the TWS inears with the deepest bass, it has to be boom and make my head explode. Really fat. And the TWS should be loud too. Which ones are the best?
I played this video in my 5.1.2 system when front left and front right sound producing sorround back left,right also produce sound and when sourround speaker time to produce sound there is no sound in surround speaker
I can’t seem to get 5.1 surround sound to work on RU-vid. Right surround is right and left surround is left. Actually, my received tells me it’s a Stereo recording.
@@wazup3333does it get recognized by your AV Receiver as 5.1 source? If not every Yamaha will skip this information or down mix it to just front left and right
good evening, I'm facing a problem and I haven't messed with it at all, the logitech speakers, the surround ones are not heard when I do a test on youtube, only the ones in front of the fronts are heard and when I test them in the PC control panel sound, can they hear what's going on done?
Thanks! I wanted to verify if my system works correctly with DD5.1 and it didnt... Then i changed some settings now channels come through separately as they should.
What sort of setup are you trying to play it on? It plays on my Denon receiver using an Apple TV and Chromecast with GoogleTV. Nvidia Shields are not supported yet but other Android TV devices might be compatible. 4K TVs with the RU-vid app might be compatible as well according to the documentation Windows does not currently support 5.1 RU-vid playback through audio interfaces or receivers. Here is the official documentation: support.google.com/youtube/answer/11904456?hl=en&ref_topic=9257587
@@jacobdoesaudio windows 10, Sound blaster Ae 7 soundcard . 5.1 Analog , DTS, or Dolby. The weird thing is I can get alot of youtube videos to work .. this one does not.
@@neko77025 Do you mind sending me a video that plays correctly with your sound card? I would love to know how to fix future videos if I did something incorrectly.
@@jacobdoesaudio some videos Work with mine but most of the individual 5.1 tests don’t including this video. I’ll link you a video that did work fine with my sonos beam and surrounds from eARC and most official dolby videos do too
The fact that YT only supports 320 kbps and it still sounds great. CD formats can give 1140 kbps with 16 bits depth and 44.1 MHz bitrate. Wish there were some of these videos on Netflix. They support 640 kbps Dolby Digital and 760 kbps Dolby Atmos. So the sound range would be a serveral magnitudes better.
This video is with Dolby Digital Plus. The lowest bitrate for Plus, is 640 kb/a, so this is a minimum of that, and up to around 1200 kb/s, which is max. for Plus.
