No audio on Microsoft Edge
I really expected that someone at Microsoft would answer us...
Edge stable released and still no Surround sound support.
- That is sooo strange in so many ways.
They proudly announced 2015 that they now was together wit Dolby Digital.
Google Chrome used to work but in december after upgrade the flags didnt work.
That Microsoft makes it kinda hard to use both edge legacy and chromium.
That in 2020 is no more browsers that just pass through a 5.1 signal to digital out.
Why is Neflix the only one with a App for windows that makes this work?
Why not HBO and viaplay etc. Amazon?
How is the signal for the hdmi? Is it 2 channel as well?
I think it got something to do with dolby chipset. But still a mp4 5.1 should just be passed through to digital out Thanks!
But I don't have a Realtek audio card =/
Microsoft answered me on the Edge feedback program and told me that, at the moment, they don't intend to fix this...
I finally managed to get back old Edge Legacy to get surround working.

It was for me a bit tricky. Ive been reading hundreds of threads and tips. But this finally was the right way to go, at least this date today.
Here are my thoughts

You have a soundcard with probably realtek chipset and if 5.1 aint working in games etc it could be intresting to try out Alan finote software
