I assume these tracks claim to use frequencies that are inaudible to human ears but irritate raccoons. But most if not all lossy compression algorithms eliminate human-inaudible frequencies. So... yeah.

Not sure if it's still true, but YouTube used to only support 2.1 audio output.

In that timeframe, my compatriots were not aware of this and several of them upgraded their home theaters to 5.1 or better.

For some reason, the myriad videos on YouTube claiming to help you test your 5.1 setup never seemed to get the results they wanted ...

YouTube supports up to 5.1 now, still no 7.1.

This guy edits music into 5.1, which can be interesting. https://youtube.com/@5.1musicchannel

Good to know, thanks!

I assume no 5.2?

You can always add a second subwoofer, assuming your hardware supports it. The second one is just going to mirror the other.
