    No surround sound when connecting PC to LG television


    Movies played via the Netflix app on my LG OLED65C8 television have surround sound. The Blu-ray player connected to one of its HDMI inputs also successfully generates surround sound from the TV, but the Windows 10 PC connected to another HDMI input is limited to stereo audio despite the audio adapter on the PC having surround sound capability. The "LG TV" device in Windows is shown as supporting a maximum of 2 channels, which does not make much sense.


    I've been through the advice provided via the following link, but without any success. Any further suggestions on how to fix this problem would be much appreciated.

    I've just tried connecting another Windows 10 PC to this TV via HDMI, with exactly the same results. The "LG TV" audio device is still shown as being limited to 2 channels.

    Good surround sound headset

    I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue No surround sound when connecting PC to LG television :p

  3. 5.1 Surround sound in windows 10

    Hi Jeka,

    There are some reasons why you don't get the 5.1 surround sound. Some of these are caused by the type of audio format, how the file was encoded, if the file supports 5.1 surround sound and such. For us to determine what's causing

    Surround Sound on PC

    There are two factors that will enable the 7.1 Surround sound. Hence I also have Dolby Atmos Supported 7.1 sound at my home as 7+1 surround sound system, I can say that it is either a windows update issue or driver issue. We verified that's it is not windows
    update hence the update that causes problem is not installed yet the driver part still leaves me some question marks. Those Options on Spatial sound enable the output to be anything more than just 2.0, so if the output is supported including output device
    the option will be available. Its just a mismatch between software and the hardware of the Headset.

    I had the issue where my 7.1 stoped working providing me with surround sound yet was able to get it back removing the update that caused it.

    I could now suggest to Uninstall audio driver entirely any available in windows safe mode, including the Razer Software and then restart windows to boot up Normally and allow windows to install the basic drivers.

    If windows doesn't recognize it then update it manually in device manager. Let Windows install the basic drivers for both the Sound Card and the Headset.

    Let's see if this will enable the option.

    PS: As long as you are not using the 3.5 Audio jack as connection, These steps should help out at a point.

    Sincerely
