– YouTube TV now offers free 5.1 surround sound for some Disney-owned networks, including ESPN, enhancing the audio experience for sporting events and other content.
– The addition of 5.1 surround sound is part of YouTube TV's efforts to evolve and compete in the live streaming market, with small improvements to UI and promotional offers like the NFL Sunday Ticket package.
– To enjoy the 5.1 surround sound feature, users need a compatible streaming device and can simply click on the surround sound icon within the player control bar when supported content is available.
If you’re a YouTube TV subscriber, you’re likely aware of some of the caveats of the service. For example, the provider is able to stream content in 4K, but you need to pay more each month for the option to view it in this format.
Now, it seems that one benefit is being added to the service that will come for free — 5.1 surround sound.
