What Sound System you use for Gaming

[SvennoJ]

Yamaha receiver with B&W speakers. 5.1 set up. I use ARC so I can game in 4K HDR with sound. It sucks ARC doesn't support linear PCM 5.1 yet DD 5.1 is good enough for games. I doubt many games use uncompressed sound files anyway. I use my ps3 for blu-ray, directly connected to the amp for lossless sound. Akira in 192khz DTS HD-MA 5.1 sounds amazing.

I will never go back to tv speakers or use headphones. Dedicated surround with a good subwoofer sounds so much better. Unfortunately my living room is not suited for 7.1 or Dolby Atmos arrangement unless they invent wireless floating speakers. Vaulted ceilings and open plan living room are great for sound quality, not for speaker placement lol. (And terrible for sound bars with virtual surround, nothing to bounce sound back)
