Dear Sonos,

It's time to support al DTS formats. DTS support is returning to TVs, for example with the lg g3 en c3. Watching 4k movies on Blu Ray is just amazing with the Sonos surround set and Dolby Atmos (arc+era300+sub). But many of the best films, like the Christopher Nolan films, use DTS and not dolby. So please, update the system:).

    DTS support was added a while back, when the patent for it expired.

        The vast majority of my movies and shows are DTS-HD or DTS-X. The lack of support is maybe the biggest detraction for my Sonos set, for me.

          Did you know you can set your Blu-ray player to convert DTS to PCM so you will get Multichannel PCM audio from all of your DTS-encoded discs?

            Yes indeed. The player for the room I have my Sonos set in is my Playstation 5 anyways, so in the options there I can output in LPCM (which I do if I have -X or -HD discs) or Bitstream for the Dolby or regular DTS discs.

              I’ve got >50 4K Ultra discs in DTS:X format. It sure would be nice to get the full object oriented audio with full DTS:X support in my Sonos HT setup…

              (I have well over 600 additional Blu Ray discs in DTS-HD format, but the conversion to LPCM for that non-object oriented audio is perfectly fine for me.)

                Unfortunately for me my bluray player when set to pcm for dts-hd output is in stereo pcm on my sonos system.

                There is no lpcm option so I am hoping they will support dts-x and HD before it annoys me enough to look elsewhere for my HT pleasure 😊

                  What model Blu-ray player do you have? Is your TV equipped with eARC?
