The simplest things are sometimes the ones that take the longest to happen. But, because better late than never, YouTube TV (finally) supports 5.1 audio on Apple TV!
The American streaming service YouTube TV allows you to enjoy a hundred television channels thanks to a monthly subscription. Good news: it is now Apple TV that will be compatible with 5.1 sound for the application.
YouTube TV: 5.1 audio deployed on Apple TV
The information comes to us directly from the YouTube TV Twitter account: 5.1 audio is now supported by Apple TV following a recent update! This concerns both live channels, recorded content (DVR) and video on demand.
We now support 5.1 audio on Apple TV and Fire TV devices for compatible YouTube TV content (Live, DVR and Video on Demand).
So that’s pretty good news for owners of Apple TV (and Fire TV by the way). Note that 5.1 surround sound will now be the option selected by default (for compatible content) when you use YouTube TV from your Apple TV. If you want to make sure that your video is properly converted to 5.1 audio, all you have to do is go to the options and click on “find out more” to bring up the statistics.
Anyway, Apple TV now joins the few compatible television models and the many platforms that already support YouTube TV such as Google Chromecast and Android TV.

If we judge the product and only the product, the Apple TV 4K is, with the NVIDIA Shield, the best TV box available today on the market. The interface is still just as fluid, well thought out and pleasant, and benefits from almost all streaming services with content available in the best audio and video quality standards. The Apple TV application is also a plus for aggregating almost all of its programs in one place.
Still, we can’t help but wonder if Apple TV 4K still makes sense in 2021, except for die-hard fans of the brand. Many connected televisions offer the same advantages as it, with interfaces that have greatly improved over time. Even better, the Apple TV app is available on almost all connected TVs. So, of course, the user experience offered by Smart TVs is perhaps less shimmering. Yes, there are sometimes some slowdowns. But the Apple TV 4K costs between 199 and 219 euros, a very high price which can ultimately lead to some concessions.
Similarly, if you have an old model of Apple TV under tvOS, prefer to buy the new remote control which concentrates most of the improvements of this new model. It will still be a few tens of euros earned, to invest for example in your SVoD subscriptions.
