Can the Roku stick have surround sound? My equipment might be too old. I have no HDMI connections on my Audio Receiver. I have the Roku connected to my TV and the TV is connected to my Audio Receiver via Opticle cable.
and yes it was thru optical.i am assuing the roku and firestick are plugged into the tv
does the tv do dolby? is it set to send dolby out via the optical?
It works... My audio receiver has a screen that shows when all the speakers are working during a program. All the speakers are lit up while watching with Directv and DVD's fine. With the streaming sticks, it only shows 2 for some reason. BUT! they are all working. I tested it with a youtube video that shows the sound thru all the speakers. Thanks for the help
My receiver has Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Digital, Dolby PII, DTS-ES, DTS and NEO:6Like I said, stream sticks service like youtube and netflix uses a new format call Dolby Digital Plus, which is compressed DD. Our old receiver won't understand it so we're getting 2 channel stereo.
