This video is to demonstrate the sound system on Ubuntu 25.04 while playing games using Proton. Here I test the obvious ones we can do which are Stereo, Surround Sound and Surround 5.1. I do not have a 7.1 system so I left it for only these 3 tests. I do need to mention that only after Ubuntu 25.04 did my Logitech 5.1 sound system work perfectly. Probably because of kernel changes plus Ubuntu changes.
