    Simulate 5.1 surround from 2-channel source?


    I have a 5.1 speaker system connected to my Windows 10 PC. Is there any way that I can play a 2-channel source (e.g. music) over all 5 speakers (i.e. a simulated surround sound)? My AV amp in the lounge has this feature and I really enjoy listening to music that way.

    :)

    Camera 5 surround audio track on Lumia 830

    The DD+ Surround track recorded by the Lumia Camera 5 app on Lumia 830 is unusable.

    I can't be decoded when streaming to an AVR + TV even if the AVR supports AC-3 and E-AC-3. It also can't be decoded with any software decoder on the PC.

    Mediainfo identifies the stream as being 5.1 E-AC-3 @ 384 Kbps but still, it can't be decoded in any way. Only the 2.0 LC-AAC can be used.

    Has anyone managed to do anything with the surround sound track or it's just a useless option that was never intended to actually do anything but waste storage space?
