No support for surround audio
I have a 5.1 surround, and i'm not able to use that with muffon! That's the only negative perk of the software. I hope it can get fixed!
@filipporomani Hello again and thanks for your feedback. Are you sure that the audio you're listening on muffon is in 5.1?
Hello to you too! Yes I'm sure, I play the same song on Spotify and i have full surround, and with the same song on muffon it hasn't.
For example glimmer of hope by Tevvez In spotify app i get full surround, in muffon i don't
@filipporomani I made a research on your question. Turns out that there're some problems with 5.1 sound on Chromium-based browsers (Electron / Chrome / Edge). Whereas Firefox plays it fine.
Didn't find much information on how to solve this. If there're some info, it's outdated now.
@staniel359 i saw your issue(https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/35853) and i just found a new flag which is supposed to work with chrome versions after 79(newer versions: --disable-features=AudioServiceOutOfProcess https://boomspeaker.com/google-chrome-5-1-surround-sound/ this article was updated 9 days ago so I suppose it is currently working hope this helps
@gamersi Thanks.
I use this site to test 5.1 audio: https://www2.iis.fraunhofer.de/AAC/multichannel.html
I tried using that flag, but the sound hasn't changed. But I can't really tell if sound in Electron is actually 5.1. There seems to be an issue with right surround speaker. Also I have quite poor headphones so I can't check it properly.
the real problem for this is that some providers don't provide 5.1 music! As far as i know, YouTube only provides stereo audio with no surround. Instead spotify provides up to 7.1 audio
On brave (chromium) i can play 5.1 audio without any particular config.
@filipporomani I've tried the Brave browser and the issue is the same as I wrote above. How do you tell if audio is 5.1 or not?
I actually have a subwoofer and 2 rear speakers, with spotify both of them play while with muffon they don't
i don't what it depends from, on firefox for example everything (even youtube) is surround, on brave only the link you sent above plays with surround.
@filipporomani I see.
I may try making some code changes, then release the next version and then you test it and tell me if it worked, okay?
Yes I'm using windows

@filipporomani Try this please:
- Right click on muffon's shortcut
-
Properties - Target field
Like here:
- Try adding those lines at the end, one at a time, then all of them:
--disable-features=AudioServiceOutOfProcess
--disable-features=AudioProcessSandbox
--disable-features=AudioServiceSandbox
--try-supported-channel-layouts
--force-wave-audio
--disable-audio-output-resampler
- Test surround audio
Okk so today I'll not be home until 22PM (UTC+2), I'll probably test later this evening or tomorrow.
Thank you so much and sorry!!

--try-supported-channel-layouts worked for me. Now 5.1 works!!! At least on my machine
Nvm, it probably was a problem of my cable. It was lagging with spotify too, i changed audio cable and now it works.
@filipporomani Good. Now I need to figure out how to add this flag to packaged app.
I really can't help you with that, i don't know how to package an app
