Windows and 7.1

+1 vote

According to the User Guide, Wwise currently does not support 7.1 on PC:

"Wwise supports only stereo and 5.1 surround on the Windows and Mac platforms"

Do you have any ETA as to when 7.1 and other surround formats will be supported on Windows?
 
Thanks!

Furthermore, 7.1 configurations with height channels is supported now, correct?

Thanks. What about the other formats? I'm interested in the height channels that Dolby are pushing pretty aggressively, how is mixing of these handled in Wwise?
by Rob B. (160 points)
The following formats are supported in 2014.1+.  Look at the channel configuration in the bus property editor:
1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.1, 7.1, Auro 9.1, Auro 10.1, Auro 11.1, Auro 11.1, Auro 13.1, Dolby 5.1.2, Dolby 7.1.2
