How can I get 5.1 Audio MP4 video through headphones on Nokia 928?

5.1 Audio MP4 video through headphones on Nokia 928

When watching an MP4 video on my 928 that has 6 channel audio I hear the dialog just fine through the speaker but when I plug headphones in I can tell I'm just getting Left and Right without the dialog from what would be the center channel. Is there a way to hear the center channel information without having to remux all my video files? You would think if it is in there to down-mix it for the speaker it could down-mix it for the headphones. I don't recall this problem on my HTC Arrive back in the WP7.5 days. Any suggestions or do I just hope and pray for 10 on a new piece of hardware?

You first need to enable surround sound for your headphones:
1. Go to Settings
2. Scroll down and tap Audio
3. Swipe to left to Improvements
4. Enable Virtual surround when your headphones are plugged in
