How to Check 5.1 Surround Sound is Playing in YouTube TV App?

According to the support page on the support page for YouTube TV, if you have a compatible hardware configuration and the show you’re watching is compatible with 5.1 audio, then it will be turned on automatically. This signifies that you’re using the correct feed. If you’re watching a show and you’re not sure whether it’s being played, one method to determine this is to open the appropriately named “Stats for nerds” window to see if it’s possible to locate AC-3/EAC-3 within the codecs section.

YouTube Video Stats for Nerds

  • Start the YouTube TV application on your television, and play a YouTube video.
  • Click on the controls for the player and then click more.
  • Select the bug.
  • Statistics for nerds will be shown on top of the video when playing.
