A film (or whatever) under a tree is a direct hello from the "scoop", although this is a common thing for speakers :)
The remote is just fake. This device is from a theoretical designer who can create a project only on paper, but does not think about practical use. Absolutely tactilely uncomfortable, it is impossible to learn how to use it blindly, I even thought about buying a remote control from model 351 .
In games, especially shooters and in general where volume is possible, these speakers are certainly worse than 5.1. There really is not enough sound from behind in some RDR2 or Doom.
In a couple of games, it turned out to be forced to give out a virtual surround sound, but usually in games if the profile indicates that there are 2 speakers, then it is impossible to create something virtual. Yes, and the virtual is actually quite arbitrary, especially in front of the speakers you won’t move, since the effect disappears :)
The sound through the optics is somehow strangely given, not immediately, but as if it constantly comes out of sleep, that is, with complete silence, if Windows blurs something, then there will be no sound, since the speakers have not yet woken up, when you turn on the songs, the same , the first second or two with fading from zero increases the volume of the track. Perhaps this is always the case with optics, I connected it this way for the first time, usually I connected everything with jacks, well, or with my wires in the DC.
