LG adds DTS:X surround and Google Cast to Sound Suite

LG introduced an updated edition of its Sound Suite software, now supporting DTS:X object‑based surround sound and incorporating Google Cast, which provides users of its TV audio systems with expanded sound choices and simpler streaming.

Home‑theater fans have long asked for DTS:X, a format that positions sound objects within a three‑dimensional space instead of fixed channels. With this codec now enabled, LG’s newest update lets suitable content offer a deeper, more immersive audio experience without extra equipment.

By adding Google Cast, users are able to stream audio from Android phones, tablets, Chrome browsers and other Cast‑compatible apps straight to the TV’s audio system. This replicates capabilities common in smart speakers and simplifies playing music, podcasts, or video soundtracks throughout the living‑room.

The upgrade brings together two sought‑after functions that previously required separate hardware, positioning LG’s ecosystem to better challenge competitors that have long provided comparable features, like Sonos’ multi‑room audio and Samsung’s Dolby Atmos partnership. Delivered as a firmware download, the update lets owners of recent LG models enable the new capabilities without buying additional devices.

Going forward, this step indicates LG’s commitment to keeping its audio platform up‑to‑date as streaming services and immersive sound formats develop. Although the firm has not disclosed further upgrades, industry watchers anticipate more codec support and tighter integration with additional smart‑home standards in future updates.
