Short answer:
EAC-3 (DD+) is natively supported by Edge and all Safari browsers.
I really was refering to this one...
AC-3 patents should have expired by now, but of course this codec is a
bit old. (And won’t support even 7.1, by the way. The highest channel
count would be 6.1, and the B channel would be matrixed into 5.1. If
my memory is correctly working. But probably yes... ;-)
Thanks,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
I you are interested in commercially using MPEG-H audio, you can
easily license from VIA:
https://www.via-la.com/licensing/mpeg-h/
That is the easiest possible way and similar for the AAC-family.
On browser-support: There is also a browser plugin under the shared
links. Which is a start. Obviously, there is no commercial
implementation available in all browsers.
On “already available”: At least DD+ is not (maybe you meant AC-3,
for which the situation may be different).
Best regards,
//Christof

Ammendment:
I see what you say. However, if we are talking about some solution to
code, transport, decode and render HOA within browsers, Mpeg-H
currently just can't help. (Because the browser AND OS support for
Mpeg-H 3DA is currently "stuck" at exactly 0%.
Programming your own "app" might run into license issues. (You don't
have such an issue with AAC or even DD+ codecs; which are "already
available" if you would chose to use them.)
I suppose the Mpeg-I Immersive Audio (which very probably would
include support for Mpeg-H 3DA "classic", in the same sense as HE-AAC
is a superset of AAC-LC) might have enormous potential for the
computer and gaming industry. (However, application is not exactly
"imminent". )
Best regards
Stefan

"
With all due respect:
I really like Mpeg-H and am following the Mpeg-I development, but
Mpeg 3DA is certainly not an open system.
Even if there is some open code.
So how do you currently license Mpeg-H 3DA? (A good expert
question, probably... ;-)
(I suppose I have to write to Fraunhofer IIS to treat that. Or will
you guys at Dolby "help" me to do this? ;-)
Best regards
Stefan
P.S.: Not to overlook that Mpeg-H 3DA Baseline doesn't even support
HOA, whereas the more complete version Mpeg 3DA LC does...
(Atmos doesn't seem to support HOA either. )
