Most PC audio chips support 5.1 or 7.1 internally. Also many desktop motherboards provide 5.1 or 7.1 connectors. If you only have stereo speakers, just set the correct speaker configuration in the OS. Either the OS or VLC will automatically downmix to stereo.Some videos I watch are 5.1 only, and I don't have this kind of system. I use stereo headphones and my sound card is onboard. It has only that 3 connectors (green, blue, pink), so I guess it produces only stereo sounds.
Got it! Thanks for your reply!Most PC audio chips support 5.1 or 7.1 internally. Also many desktop motherboards provide 5.1 or 7.1 connectors. If you only have stereo speakers, just set the correct speaker configuration in the OS. Either the OS or VLC will automatically downmix to stereo.
And it is still not fixed. Back to 2.0.8It won't be fixed before 2.2.0
Of course, this is difference between audio-channel and audio-devices.I also have the same problem.
2.0.8 The audio is perfect in 5.1 and 2.0
VLC 2.0.8
From 2.2.1 to 2.0.9 audio is crap, the 5.1 sounds very wrong in a USB 5.1 card, stereo out noisy and unable to choose the mode 5.1.
Also it happens in other PC with internal sound card 5.1
VLC 2.2.1
VLC 2.2.1 allows 5.1 playback.Does anyone know of a good alternative to VLC that does allow 5.1 playback like VLC 2.0.8 does? I'm getting sick of this.
