Even though many mp4 movies i've downloaded contain 6 channel audio, none of them gives true 5.1 surround sound on my sound system like mkvs or DVDs. I made comparisons with a few popular video players with the same results. I'm not talking about sound quality but multichannel precision. I just wanted to know if its a sound encoding thing or a container one, for which format to preffer in the future.
Thank you in advance.

In case of muted channel(s), mediainfo will be fooled with many channels.
Open audio in any audio editor like for say Audacity with ffmpeg input plugin and physically verify if any channel(s) is muted or not.

If you target mobile devices MP4 with multi-channel is universal container. -
