Does DisplayPort support only 6 Channel Audio (5.1)?

Hello,

6 channels are implemented.
This isn't a DisplayPort or USB 3.0 limitation. I believe DisplayPort can allow 8 or more, depending on which version of DisplayPort is used.

The product is used mostly at desks where people tend to have at most stereo, so 5.1 was developed. If we were to get requests for more, we would consider implementing in future products, but as this isn't a regular ask, it is not currently prioritised.

Kind regards,
Alban
