    (Xbox One S) Spotify not playing 5.1 audio anymore


    Recently Spotify on my Xbox One S has stopped playing 5.1 surround audio. I've got an optical cable out of the console to my surround receiver. Before, Spotify would play through all the speakers and the subwoofer. Now it only plays out of the front speakers.

    I've played with every setting, but can't get it back to playing 5.1 sound.

    Netflix and every other app still plays 5.1 sound, but not Spotify anymore.

    :)

    Yeah I can force my receiver to upmix the signal, but sounds like trash. Echoes, chambers , sound halls..... simulated of course , but I could have sworn the xbox one up mixed the 2.1 stream to 5.1 within the xbox itself. Maybe an update happened and that no longer is a thing? Doesn't make sense. Maybe I'm losing my mind.

    I just hooked up my new xbox series x and spotify or sound cloud do not put out 5.1 like my xbox one did. Not happy about it.

    I have the same issue with 5.1 output previously and now stereo only.

    Personally I prefer the 5.1 output and hope it can be fixed and have an option within the app to choose stereo or 5.1.

    Thanks

    That's a good thing. Music is 2.0 and that's how it should be. If you want output stereo signal to more channels in your system you can use Dolby Pro Logic or any other effect on your receiver.

    I figured it out, Spotify, Soundcloud etc don't output 5.1, your amp needs to upmix it. Make sure your Xbox output is Stereo uncompressed, then your amp can upmix it to 5.1.
