Headphones can emulate multi-channel spacial audio because the speakers are right on your ears. Tvs and laptops could do the same thing my headset does, it just wouldn’t do any good because speakers are too far away and in the wrong orientation.

If you have stereo speakers… surround is not a concern. The device should just assume the audio will be originating from the front of the listener, and mix it at equal levels and call it a day.

Fair enough.
