5.1 surround sound ("five-point one") is the common name for surround sound audio systems. 5.1 is the most commonly used layout in home theatres. [1] It uses five full-bandwidth channels and one low-frequency effects channel (the "point one"). [ 2 ]
16.2 channel surround sound. Surround sound is a technique for enriching the fidelity and depth of sound reproduction by using multiple audio channels from speakers that surround the listener (surround channels). Its first application was in movie theaters.
The sound bar utilizes analysis of a room's reflective characteristics to enable a single-unit 5.1.4 setup. [ 47 ] On May 17, 2021, Apple Music announced the addition of spatial audio with support for Dolby Atmos and lossless audio. [ 48 ]
Then in June 2005 came Auzentech, which with its X-Mystique PCI card, provided the first consumer sound card with Dolby Digital Live support.
