Watching Big Sky on Hulu with Edge plays H.264 (5.1) but not with Firefox or Chrome. ASUS motherboard with Realtek audio. HE-AAC Channel ID - With H.264 Video test here (https://www2.iis.fraunhofer.de/AAC/multichannel.html) does play 5.1 audio with Firefox. I'm stumped.

It's hard to troubleshoot without having an account. What OS? What version of Firefox? Can you post a screenshot of the issue?

Didn't work same thing. I just hear front channel sound through the surrounds. After looking further, I tried Chrome. Same issue. Then I found this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEvROdECGDw. Using option 3 fixed the issue in Chrome. Surely there must be a similar switch or setting for Firefox. But hey, thanks for the reply! Happy New Year!
