Forcing surround = 5.1 make app not starting #916
Description
Hi,
I want to play my games in multichannel.
Rpi5 is able, after some configuration.
But when I force using 5.1 surround in moonlight, it app starts as a black screen.
On my previous GPU (NV GTX970) a clear message said it requires HDR (which doesn't seems to have any link with surround issue.
With the new one (AMD 9070XT), I just get a direct CLIENT DISCONNECTED message.
Please find my sunshine logs below:
