Surround Speaker Check is a fun and entertaining utility to help you set up and enjoy your surround sound audio system! Also works as great spatial audio test content for spatial audio on AirPods Pro! With Surround Speaker Check, you can: • Verify your system is properly decoding Dolby Digital surround sound audio (used for iTunes & Apple TV HD movies) • Confirm your speakers are properly configured • Hear and evaluate your surround sound speakers in isolation • Test your subwoofer with Subwoofer Check track • Compatible with spatial audio on AirPods Pro • Experience Apple's head tracking feature for spatial audio with the Center Speaker Check track Uses specially produced surround sound music tracks with on-screen visual graphics - no annoying blasts of white noise! Designed by guitarist and surround recording artist Jeff Perrin as a means to confirm the integrity of various surround systems while producing surround sound music tracks. NOTE: Playback of Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound content requires an Apple TV connected to a Dolby Digital compatible home theater system with front and rear speakers. (For best compatibility with tvOS 14, Audio Format should be left on the default "Auto" setting.) May be compatible with select smart TVs using AirPlay. Spatial audio support requires AirPods Pro with compatible iOS device.

    Nice app…but
    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. Show more

    Subwoofer Check frequency sweeps exclude subwoofer??
    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? Show more

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

    Worked in the past, but broken now
    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. Show more

    No Restore Purchases Button??
    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! Show more

    Awesome app!
    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

    No Calibration
    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. Show more

    Not sure how to use this.
    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. Show more

    Wasn’t sure at first, now I’m positive!
    Was looking everywhere for a test surround source and found this one. Downloaded from my iPhone and then activated the iPhone mirror function to my Apple TV and it worked perfectly! I really like the entertaining music riffs as opposed to sound signals to confirm the sound channels. Downloaded and purchased the sound ear candy app next, to my Apple TV after listening to a few samples. Turned out that purchase was well worth the investment! LOVE the surround sound arranged tracks! I would say “Rain” is my fav for a very relaxing ambiance and the pic goes great to enhance the ambient mood in the room, but they’re all pretty great! Already looking forward to the new tracks I hope are coming soon! Show more
