Introduction
If you want to watch Netflix and have that cinema feel follow this simple step
Requirements
You will need an active Netflix subscription (duh) and Firefox

After testing around a bit, this was the only browser i could get to work. Chrome, Edge and the Win 10 Netflix App all don't work.

If you got another browser working, let me know so I can amend this guide.

You can force any app in Windows 10 to use a specific sound device. In this case you'd want to force it to use the "Bigscreen Audio Stream" device for playback.
Win 10:
Open Settings app
Go to System -> Sound
On the right hand side towards the bottom, click on "App volume and device preferences" underneath "Other sound options"
You can choose "Bigscreen Audio Stream" for playback on any app listed there. Chrome/VLC/Edge/whatever can play sound should show up there.

In Windows 11 you can do it right in the volume mixer in like 5 seconds. Goto volume mixer, click drop down arrow on the right side of your apps, output device, "Bigscreen Audio Stream"

You will need to manually change this back after you're done by the way.
