If you want to add 7.1 surround sound to your Squarespace website, there are a few different ways to do it. One way is to use the built-in audio player and upload your files in the .mp4 format.
Another way is to use an external audio player like SoundCloud or Amazon S3 and embed it onto your site using code blocks. And finally, you can also use HTML5 audio tags to play your audio files directly from your web server.
The built-in audio player
Squarespace’s built-in audio player does not currently support 7.1 surround sound playback. However, you can still upload your files in the .mp4 format and they will be automatically transcoded into the .m4a format, which is supported by the player.
To do this, simply go to the Settings tab of the Audio Block and select the “Transcode to .m4a” option.
External audio players
If you want to use an external audio player like SoundCloud or Amazon S3, you can do so by embedding it onto your site using code blocks. Simply paste the code into a code block and it will automatically be embedded onto your site.
You can find instructions on how to do this for SoundCloud here and for Amazon S3 here.
HTML5 audio tags
Finally, you can also use HTML5 audio tags to play your audio files directly from your web server. To do this, simply upload your audio files to your web server and then add the following code in a code block:
<audio src="yourfile.mp3" controls></audio>
Replace “yourfile” with the name of your audio file.
