Leave a Review Surround Speaker Check
Works well
This app lets you see how much the spatial audio moves around the sound stage. On the new AirPods 3 it is noticeable but more subtle that I thought it would be. I would have given it 5 star if it could support 7.1 and Atmos.Testsystems
Doesn’t work
This app fails to achieve its one aim - playing 5.1 audio. It just doesn’t play. No other app does what this one states it does, so I was pleased when I found it, but then let down by the app not working. What a shame. Dev, if you do iron out the bugs, add more tests like Atmos, DTS, DTS-x etc for a full on test suite.Show lessChris Daniels

Hi Chris. Please update your Apple TV to tvOS version 14.5 or higher. I suspect you are using gear which is susceptible to a Dolby playback bug introduced with tvOS 14.0. Update and all should be well! Feel free to contact me at jeff (at) jeffperrinmusic.com for support. Thanks.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 lessAppletoss

UPDATE: [The tvOS 14 bug described below is fixed with tvOS 14.5. Please upgrade your Apple TV to version 14.5 or higher. Thanks.] Hello. tvOS 14 currently has a major bug affecting users with optical connections and local media containing surround sound (local media meaning anything not streamed from a service.). I suspect your OneConnect box is similarly affected by this bug as well. Unfortunately, this one is out of my hands, though things are finally looking promising for a solid fix in an upcoming tvOS update. In the meantime, perhaps try connecting the ATV directly into the Sonos Amp? Feel free to contact me at: jeff (at) jeffperrmusic.com with your results. Thanks. -JeffDoesn’t work.
Netflix test patterns work fine, this doesn’t sent to correct speakers on Apple TV 4K.Sponge/bubbles

UPDATE: [Apple has fixed this issue. Please update your Apple TV to the latest version of tvOS] Unfortunately, due to a tvOS 14 bug the app may not work correctly for users with "Change Format" enabled in the tvOS audio settings. Feel free to email me with your details at: Jeff (at) jeffperrinmusic.com and I can try and help work this out for you. Thanks!Didn’t work
It’s not even clear what the purpose is. It was supposed to play an AC/DC track and will make you pay more to test individually channels? Wait for an update and don’t bother downloadingRennyDJM

Hello. If the free test track is not working, then I suspect you are affected by a tvOS 14 bug which I describe in the app, along with a possible solution. Feel free to email me with your details at: Jeff (at) jeffperrinmusic.com and I can try and help work this out for you. Otherwise, please stand by as this issue should hopefully be resolved with the next tvOS 14 update. Thanks.Great Sound Check App
Easy to download and set up. A must have for sound checking a 5.1 speaker system setup.GintheOK

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!Jdscribs
Developer Response
Hi Jdscribs, The "restore purchases" button is located in the About tab/About the app screen. Feel free to email me if you have any problems. Thanks! -JeffAwesome 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! ELinksys app app
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 lessneps
