Is there currently the ability to output a 5.1 or any other surround sound signal from the online player? If so, how can I do this.
If not, when are you all thinking of adding this capability?
Thanks,

Bump. Been waiting years for proper 5.1/7.1 sound from the online playerâŚ
I REALLY miss the old Fantasy Player which supported it. My speakers are in the ceiling around the table, and having stereo sound out of just 2 speakers on one end just, well, sounds horribleâŚ
With the new Foundry module/integration, I really wanted to give Syrinscape another chance but this makes me sad.
Any news as to when/if this feature will be included?
This is NOT something we are going to get built into the Online Player anytime soon⌠too many other things clamouring for attention atm.
In the meantime, can someone test for me⌠as I donât have a surround setup to hand atm.
If you play sound out of the Web Player (out hdmi OR optical output) (with the system set to surround output) does that come out all the speakers?
AND/OR
Can you use a âmusic enhancedâ setting on the decoder, that pushes the sound to a âsimulatedâ 5.x speaker setup, right? Does that suffice, or sound workable?
No, sorry to say, but thatâs not anywhere close to how surround sound should work. Just forcing the sound to play out of all speakers doesnât create an immersive soundscape.
I have to say, Iâm pretty upset this feature isnât a priority. Itâs one of the most important features for my table. We still play in person and have speakers around the whole table. I guess if you donât depreciate the old players than I can still use that, but I would really like to see it come to the online player sometime too.

No plan to do this soon, we just released an updated version (1.5). 
Have you had a chance to test the Web Player via HDMI or optical out?
It used to be that surround sound wasnât possible via a web browser. I remember everyone bitching about it when watching Netflix through the browser, and I recall the response was to 'use the Netflix app if you want full audio functionality". I remember my friend downloading the Netflix app from the Microsoft store and voila, he had surround sound.
Browser apps have their limitations compared to actual apps. For example, look how sucky Syrinscape web is now compared to the Syrinscape client app, and how it forces me to use Firefox because Edge and Chrome have more issues with Syrinscape than I can count. It always seems to be an uphill battle with these always evolving web browsers.
Bumping this one in Summer 2025. Are we there yet?
Iâve moved everything in my game room to Raspberry now, doing Streamdeck, map monitor, DM monitor and LED strip management. Still donât have Surround on the web player, which is sad.
Could we please get this going? Or at least a decent Linux version of Syrinscape so we can say goodbye to Windows?
Heya,
I this is what you are looking for, right?

That works still, right?
Aaaaand⌠Web Player being in Surround depends on the browser, and I thiiiiiiink I remember someone said they got it working. Itâll be a matter of the browser talking nice to the system settings etc.
Anyone have any insight on this?
