    Hello numbertwentey,

     

     as Neftlix doesn't play 5.1 sound in the browser you cannot record it like that.

    This feature will be available in the future. Unfortunately we can't tell exactly when exactly it'll be available.

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for your reply! I'm using the extension recommended by Audials for Firefox (and/or Chrome). In the options, you can allow it to play with 5.1 audio. I am receiving surround channel audio with this movie, but not in the recording. Thanks!

    This solution doesn't work everytime and it isn't guaranteed that you can record with 5.1 sound.

    This is really disappointing.

    So in what situation would the ability to record in surround sound be an available option?

    We cannot provide at this moment a situation in which it would work. Right now there is no reliable solution, which could work for every user and everytime.

    I'm not angry, but I'll be honest - I feel a bit cheated. To offer "Top Quality" recordings and not being able to deliver.

    Is this an issue with Netflix creating an environment one step ahead of Audials? Constantly changing to be ahead of what it can do? It makes more sense to me why the big point of "getting constant updates for a version".

    Is there any recording situation where Audials will be able to record in 5.1 currently? Beyond Netflix - just curious how to test it.

    I am still receiving poor audio quality from Netflix, but I will try encoding in a lesser format to see differences.

    Thanks for your help

    Right now we can't record 5.1 sound. We're trying to make this possible for Audials 2021 at some point.

    Hi Alex,

    I'm wondering if this is something else now. When I first posted, I had mentioned that in the past things were fine with stereo, but now it's terrible. At this point it looks like the DRM from Netflix essentially stops Audials from recording. It basically breaks my browser whenever Audials is open. I can't click links or set up recording. Is there any information regarding this and/or a way around it?
