Samsung 5.1.2 soundbar and Pro setting

There is no clearly right or clearly wrong option. AV Amplifier mode allows for specific multichannel config selection, but you run the risk of incorrectly identifying how many channels you have (maybe one thinks they have 7.1, but this is a true 5.1 setup). If you select Soundbar, then you rely on

Why on Earth does ATV 4K not have an option for “Dolby Digital + Atmos”, and only offers “Dolby MAT 2.0 Atmos”, which does not work with HDMI ARC??

I would imagine the number of HDMI 2.1 tv’s out there is insanely low compared to how many people have HDMI 2.0, even

Best 300€ soundbar

I’m new to Hisense, but had a Sonos setup oh beam gen 2, mini sub and rear Sonos sl speakers, appreciate you might not have the room but going to the soundbar was one step up, going to full surround sound elevates it even further.

Virtual height channels disabled on Beam Gen 2

I have recently configured a system with a Beam Gen 2 in the center, 2 x Era 100s as Front L/R and 2 x Symfonisk Bookshelves as Rear L/R.

I initially setup the entire system in Sonos Sequencer. This worked really smoothly and when I returned to the Sonos app it was detecting all 5 speakers correct

Soundbar Junikies: What is your setup? Looking to upgrade my current (old) Samsung soundbar to something better. Budget under $1,000 is my target.

Sonos all the way for me. Beam 2, 2x Subs (incredible experience), and Era 100 surrounds

Dolby atmos for headphones on legion go 2

I have a Sonos beam gen 2 for pc and the Dolby atmos for theatre feature sounds amazing on it. Unfortunately I’ve alrdy bought the plug for Dolby for headphones so I’ll probably just stick with it since I also use Bose headphones for it and it sounds very good. Just seeing what anyone that uses it f

Home cinema 5.1 ou 7.1

Há uns anos andava com a mesma questão mas depois desisti porque a trabalheira de andar a passar cabos para ter um 5.1 ou um 7.1, mais o preço de colunas e amplificador dedicado, não iria aproveitar todo o som e não iria ter espaço para tudo. Acabei por ir para uma Sonos Beam Gen2 mais 2 colunas de
