Getting 5.1 surround sound on the Stadia Controller via USB-C?

Jump to Best Response

Hey folks! I have a question around 5.1 sound on the controller.

I have a gaming headset that supports 1.5 surround sound which plugs in nicely in the USB-C port and works a charm, However I noticed the option to click on enable 5.1 is still greyed out still, is there away to get that working via the controller or is that not possible?

Thanks in advance:)

On the vast majority of headsets "surround" is just a gimmick and they only actually accept stereo and just simulate surround.  If you plug the headset into a PC can you actually configure it to use 5 channels?  Either way, I don't think that Stadia can send a surround stream through the controller.
