Feature Request: Music Mode for Home Theater Groups (All-Channel Stereo)

Feature Request: Music Mode for Home Theater Groups (All-Channel Stereo) Dear Bluesound Product Team, I would like to request a new feature for POWERNODE Home Theater setups. Current limitation When PULSE FLEX speakers are configured as surround speakers in a 5.1 Home Theater group, they are permanently dedicated to that role. During music playback, only the front left/right speakers reproduce stereo content, while the surround speakers remain unused (unless the source is multichannel). To use the surround speakers for music, the Home Theater group must be deleted and recreated afterwards. This is inconvenient and discourages switching between music and movie listening. Requested feature Please add a selectable Music Mode for Home Theater groups. Example options: - Front Stereo (current behavior) - All-Channel Stereo - Stereo + Surround Speakers In All-Channel Stereo, the left stereo channel should be reproduced by all left-side speakers, and the right stereo channel by all right-side speakers, similar to the "All Channel Stereo" mode available on many AV receivers. This would allow users to enjoy immersive whole-room stereo music without changing or deleting the Home Theater configuration. Why this matters Many users use a POWERNODE as both: - a Home Theater receiver for TV and movies, and - a high-quality music streaming system. Having to remove and recreate the surround configuration every time users want a different music experience creates unnecessary friction. A software-selectable listening mode would make the system significantly more flexible while preserving the simplicity of the existing Home Theater setup. Thank you for considering this feature.

    and read it out loud whenever you have a good idea for bluesound, this will provide you with 2 things.

    1. You'll have the beste response time ever

    2. You won't have any hopes it will ever happen, this'll will let you process the dissapointment of never getting any feature requests much easier. And maybe you will stop asking and live a happy life without dissapointment
