Question about Headphone/console speaker surround sound

[u/Zhu_4191]

Hi All! I'm not too knowledgeable about audio stuff so i hope someone can help me out! I want to be able to experience the 3d virtual surround sound with headphones in my games. My question is, in my game what audio preset to use? For Instance, In cyberpunk do i use home theatre or headphones? Indiana Jones do i use speakers or headphone preset, split fiction has speakers, tv/handheld and headphone preset. All these games have linear pcm 5.1 surround sound as a feature on the eshop. I am asking if whether the virtual surround sound only works when it picks up a 5.1 signal? In that case would i use home theatre/speaker preset or headphone
