Hi,

Thank you for sharing the information!

I’ve tested the Multi-Speaker example on the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome, and Arc on my end, and it seems to be working as expected.

That said, it’s possible that differences in browser settings, extensions, or even system audio configurations might be affecting playback.

Could you please clarify what exactly isn’t working for you?

  • Does the page load but produce no sound?
  • Are there any errors in the browser console (F12 > Console tab)?
  • Are you testing with a surround sound device (5.1 setup)?

Any additional detail will help me better understand the situation and assist you further.

Hi @li_fmod
Sure! The website loads - but when interacting with the ‘play’ buttons everything is getting folded down to stereo. I’m using the 64 channel Blackhole virtual sound-card and monitoring the output in Ableton and can verify when clicking Surround Left Speaker or Surround Right Speaker, they simply go to channels 1 (left) or 2 (right) accordingly. When I run the sample locally (by downloading the library) i can get 5.1 to work in discrete channels however. Let me know if I can provide any more information.

Thank you for the clarification!

We have managed to reproduce and verify the issue!

It turns out the public version of the web page was an old version. The example has now been updated to the latest version.

Please let me know if the issue persists. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention!
