Remarks
The Surround 7.1 speaker mode contains eight channels:
- Front left
- Front right
- Front center
- Low-Frequency Effects (LFE subwoofer)
- Side left
- Side right
- Rear left
- Rear right
If a device doesn't support this speaker mode, Unity typically falls back to AudioSpeakerMode.Mode5point1 or AudioSpeakerMode.Stereo. This speaker mode is common for high-end PC or console setups, TV, movies, theaters, home cinemas, and more.
Pros:
- 7.1 provides better immersion because of all the angles covered.
Cons:
- Fewer devices support this speaker mode.
- You need to test it more.
- 7.1 uses more CPU resources than modes with fewer channels.
