In the Output Devices tab of Pulse Audio Volume Control, I ticked the AC-3 checkbox in the Advanced settings for this device, but that didn't help.īus 003 Device 015: ID 0c76:161f JMTek, LLC.
The problem is that it is only recognized as stereo (Pavucontrol shows only front left and front right channels for 'USB PnP Audio Device Digital Stereo (IEC958)' and the port is listed as 'Digital Output (S/PDIF)') and I couldn't find a way to play my files with AC-3 sound in 5.1, they're all downmixed to stereo. According to what I read on the comments, Windows users seem to be happy with the virtual surround feature, and I'd like to have the same on Ubuntu MATE 22.04.1.
I recently bought a wired USB headset with 7.1 virtual surround, which, according to the manufacturer, supports GNU/Linux and Chrome OS too.
