Xumo doesn't offer premium audio like surround sound on Xumo Play.

The Xumo joint venture between Charter Communications and Comcast is meant to help customers bridge the gap between pay-TV and streaming. A Xumo Stream box allows viewers to stream both live TV and on-demand streamers, and the Xumo Play streaming service offers a huge selection of free, ad-supported video.

Viewers who want to use Xumo Play may harbor dreams of streaming the service’s library with premium audio like surround sound. Is that possible? We’ll give viewers more details on the premium audio options found on the service here.

Everything you need to know about premium audio on Xumo Play

Can you watch Xumo Play in surround sound?

Xumo Play has an extensive selection of on-demand TV shows and movies that viewers can watch anytime for free, as long as they don’t mind putting up with commercials. Unfortunately, none of this content will feature surround sound or any other premium audio formats.

Likewise, there are no premium audio options while watching Xumo’s free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels. Xumo Play does carry an extensive selection of these channels, but they play in standard 2.0 channel stereo sound.

Does the Xumo Stream Box support premium audio?

Yes! If you use a Xumo Stream Box to watch your streaming apps, the box supports premium formats such as Dolby Atmos and Dolby Digital Plus. You won’t get this sound quality automatically; however, the app you are watching must offer premium audio in order to stream its content in that format.

There is a wide range of streaming apps that offer surround sound and other premium audio options that you can download on a Xumo Play box, including Netflix, Disney+, Peacock, Prime Video, and more. If you subscribe to one of these services, check your plan to see if premium audio is included with your account.
