Surround Speaker Check

Great App for a 5.1 system !! It would be really great to have it for a 5.1.4 Atmos configuration and be able to test individual speakers

I have an Apple TV 3 hooked up to an old receiver and 5 speaker setup, and am not getting surround sound through various movie streaming sites Airplay’d from my phone. I downloaded this app to my phone and ran the 5.1 check via AirPlay to my Apple TV and got the surround sound output I was looking for. So at least able to confirm my setup will work in principle.

This is a great straightforward app for testing surround speakers and levels. I use it to collaborate my surround speakers and levels. Would you please consider an app update to test Atmos channels.

The first 2 of the 4 Subwoofer Check tests do not exercise the subwoofer. Its icon stays gray, and I hear no audio from it. During the third and fourth tests, its icon is blue and I hear audio from it, but only the first 2 tests provide a frequency sweep, which is what was advertised and what I was seeking when I paid for it. Am I missing something?

I’m new to using AirPods Pro and the 5.1 Speaker Check was a great way to test Spatial Audio!

The app doesn’t seem to be transmitting Dolby Digital 5.1 as of tvOS 14.4 (18K802). I’ve tried the native tvOS version of this app, screen mirroring, and airplay to the AppleTV. My setup is AppleTV 4K -> Samsung OneConnect box (via HDMI) -> Sonos Amp via HDMI eARC, and I have AppleTV set to Auto Audio Format (as opposed to Change Format with DD5.1, although I have tried that too to no avail). Typically, there’s an option in the Samsung settings to pass through Dolby Digital 5.1 when it senses that signal coming from the input device, and sure enough I get Dolby 5.1 in other apps (e.g. Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max), but not with this app anymore. I know it used to work like a year ago so not sure what has changed.

Really like the app, but I bought the center speaker test then had to reinstall the app, but the app just says to buy the test again, with no button to restore purchases!!! Help!

Have old original Bose Solo, just running this app makes this old speaker sound like it was brand new! Don’t know how but it corrects the glitches! Thank you! E

It’s great that this app works as a companion to the AppleTV app / but wish it worked to help calibrate. It would be great if the AppleTV played a sound that the iOS app heard, and I could tune the settings on my sound bar to calibrate it to my room setup. I’d pay money for that feature, I have a Vizio Atmos sound bar and they have no tools to know if I’m runner accurately. Each persons room is different - this could be a nice extension of this app.

I love the idea that I can test my speaker for the correct surround sound. I just purchased the Apple TV 4K and wanted to be sure that the speakers were placed correctly. During the 5 speaker test all the speaker images were blue and the sound from each speaker was great. I spent the additional $.99 to get the center speaker test. This is the test that is confusing to me. There are three parts to this test. When I do the second part, which is the dialogue, the center speaker as well as the left and right speakers are red during that part of the test. There is a mention of phantom speakers. My confusion is that I do not know what a red speaker image means and what to do about it. And there is no manual or explanation. So bottom line is that I really like being able to do this test. But there is no explanation as to what it means what to do if the speaker image is red. That is the only reason I gave it a four star.
