Virtual Home Theater (VHT) is a multimedia player and desktop mirroring VR software that simulate the audio channels as virtual sound objects or virtual speakers, delivering true 3D spatial audio in VR, replacing the old 'head-locked' stereo audio technology.

Added direct audio playback from sound track channels to a real home theater audio setup like: stereo, quadraphonic, 5.1 or 7.1 surround real speakers.
This will deactivate the VHT's 3D audio spatial rendering and it will play the audio directly to the headphone or a stereo, quadraphonic, 5.1 or 7.1 surround real speakers.
For media player mode:
