Right on the original question and I don’t want to argue either. Just had a small investigation recently and learned myself it is not an easy to answer question.
For instance, on mobile platforms, e.g., iOS, the underlying framework is the same for all browsers and there for codec support is (more or less) independent on the browser. On PC-platforms, Firefox and Chromium-based seems to have a policy not to access OS-functionality for media codecs (with exception for some video codecs). In summary: it is a mess and very dependent on many factors. Very widely supported is the AAC-family, including LC, HE-AACv1 and v2 (hopefully soon xHE-AAC also). //Christof From: Sursound <sursound-boun...@music.vt.edu> on behalf of Stefan Schreiber <st...@mail.telepac.pt> Date: Tuesday, 9.

See also the subject. So Safari does, Edge does on Windows, Chrome probably not. We were “checking” standard browsers. It is next to obvious that you would use DD+ either for surround sound (but AAC codecs and open codecs can do the same, of course), or especially to code Atmos via JOC. > “Again, not as easy as it seems to be at the first glance. > > Hope this helps.” Hope my comments help, as well... There is not much to “argue”, because I took a neutral position.
