Review Summary

Boom3D 5.1 Surround for Netflix is praised for enhancing Netflix audio with true 5.1 surround sound, providing a rich and immersive experience, especially when paired with the Boom 3D app. Users appreciate its ability to improve headphone and home theater listening. However, multiple recent user reports indicate the extension now causes Netflix playback errors and streaming blocks, with Netflix flagging it as a disallowed plugin, and partial channel output issues. Users are eager for updates to fix these critical compatibility problems that have rendered the extension unusable for many.

  • Works well when compatible, providing immersive and improved sound quality especially with Boom 3D app.
  • Easy to use for users who want better sound on Netflix with headphones or home theater setups.
  • Generally praised for delivering a noticeable audio improvement and boosting the Netflix audio experience.

Cons

  • Recently stopped working, causing Netflix playback errors and UI3013 error, leading to video streams not starting.
  • Netflix detects the extension as a disallowed plugin, resulting in playback blocking or stereo fallback.
  • Only partial 5.1 output is delivered sometimes, missing some surround channels (e.g., missing Ls, Rs).
  • No updates yet to fix the recent compatibility issues, frustrating many users.
