DTS is okay, we actually need DTS-X and DTS-HD capability

This is the only thing holding Sonos back from taking throne as the best sounding and most compatible home speaker system in 2022

You can do it, we know you can. If you wish, charge us for it. That way, only those who have paid a certain premium like $100 for DTS-X and DTS-HD compability can get compatiblity and regular updates via software.

      Yes please Sonos! I’d even pay for the additional support. As said before the Arc would would seriously benefit from this and would keep me as a customer knowing my investment was worth it and not worth selling and jumping to the competition that are really stepping up their game…

        I just want regular and actual 5.1 FOR REAL on my Arc/Sub/One system using an LG CX and Apple TV. I don’t want 7.1 LPCM or 2.1 PCM or whatever they all are. Everything I do is streaming. It’s ridiculous to me that I can’t watch shows using that setting on a $3,000+ setup. I am really getting sick of it and it’s so frustrating. Sonos, just frigging do it!!!

          Hi @awazinawab,

           

          Thanks for your request. I’ve passed your comments on to our development team for consideration :slight_smile:

          Hi James, 

          Has there been any update around this support? Any love from the devs for us Sonos fans?

            @Jeffrey_35 I'm not sure your post belongs in this section as streaming services do not use DTS, but 5.1 should be achievable with your set up, if the source provides it.

            Can you open a new thread describing your set up and the problem you face?

            It sounds like you perhaps may have the TV HDMI input format set to ‘PCM’ rather than ‘Bitstream’ - and using multichannel LPCM, whereas you could choose to use Dolby 5.1/Plus/Dolby (Atmos) audio (compressed) instead, which the majority of streaming services are using these days. …Oh and apologies for ‘briefly’ moving this thread off topic.
