The Surround Format templates are hard-coded, and cannot be deleted. However, you can freely
assign any enabled audio output port to any surround channel, and save the configuration as a
preset.
Surround settings are per project. Surround speaker assignments default to unique audio output
channels when you choose a new template.
To configure surround settings, go to Edit > Preferences > Project - Surround.
