Note

To export a project with 8ch audio to Dolby Digital (AC-3), you can select the format for 5.1 channel. When you select formats for multiple channels to output as in the case mentioned, set the export destination of each track with the audio channel map in advance. If the export destination is not specified, the sound is muted. To play the sound in 5.1 channel surround, the sound is required to be created to be suitable for surround play. Note that the surround effect is not applied automatically only by setting the audio channel map and selecting 5.1 channel for the export format.
