EDIT: just tried firefox: there i have surround sound wtf -.-.. i switched to edge because of the emby stop playing bug.. mhhh dont know if i still have the stop problem with firefox...

so its a edge problem....





WHAT I HAVE NOTICED: Edge is grabbing the complete sound from my PC, i dont here anything else when i watch in edge.. Firefox dont act like this... Can i set the edge to act like the firefox with the sound?



Its Windows 10 newest versions and edge browser

Please attach the information requested in how to report a media playback issue. thanks.

Edge is currently the only browser that supports Dolby Digital (AC3), Emby should be direct playing the media.  All other browsers would be converting the audio to another format.

 

But in the example above the media is Stereo.

Two channel Dolby Digital can include extra channels through matrixing.  From the Wikipedia list of configurations for it:

Dolby Digital 2/0 - 2-channel stereo (left + right), optionally carrying matrixed Dolby Surround

Detailed descriptions here.
