Hulu has added Roku devices to their list of 4K and Dolby 5.1 supported content and devices, further expanding the ways subscribers can enjoy a surround sound experience when watching TV and movies from Hulu’s on-demand library or live TV lineup.

Surround Sound support began to roll out in May last year with the Xbox One being the first device to get the update. Since then, Hulu has added support to other devices and has continually commented that its “collection of 5.1 supported content and devices continues to grow” when subscribers ask about the feature on message boards.

Here are all the devices Hulu now offers Dolby 5.1 audio on:

Android TV (select models)

To enable surround sound on these devices, you’ll need to select a 5.1 compatible option from the audio output settings and have a sound system that supports 5.1 audio. Visit the help page from Roku for more information about setting up surround sound on your Roku device.
