Netflix in surround sound?












1















Is there a way to get 5.1 Surround Sound in Netflix? I have it working for other media already, so the surround sound drivers are fine (pulseaudio etc), but Netflix plays in stereo. Works fine on Windows & MacOS (this is a Triple Boot desktop system)



Using Ubuntu 18.10 & Firefox or Chrome to play netflix via the web app.
