netflix streams in 5.1 (well, most titles. there's a few in stereo, and a few without a subwoofer)
Sort of, and by that I mean not on Windows 7. From the Netflix faq, and my own personal struggle,
"5.1 surround sound is not currently supported while streaming on a computer using Microsoft Silverlight or HTML5. However, it is supported in the Netflix app for Windows 8 and Windows 10. To check if your device supports 5.1 audio, go to any Netflix original to see if there is a 5.1 audio option. If not, your device may not support this feature, or it may need to be turned on. For assistance enabling this feature, visit How do I adjust subtitles, captions and alternate audio on my device?"
I was thrilled when the xfinity x1 cable box started supporting a Netflix app which supports surround sound.
