Chromecast google tv + Sonos surround 5.1?

Hi! There have been some questions about this before but I have to ask ones more. I have an LG tv (65uf772v-zw) set up with Beam, sub and two ikea symfonisk. My tv is to old for having the Disney + app and I'm thinking of buying the new Chromecast with google tv. But... does anyone here att this forum know if I will get 5.1 with Disney +? If I read about my tv it have DD and dts decoder. 

Best regards

Based on my research, your TV model was released in 2015, so there is probably a 50% chance that your TV will not be able to pass through 5.1 audio from any external media device. And more than likely, there isn’t going to be anyone in this community with your exact LG TV model using a Chromecast with Google TV. If I were you, I would just get the Chromecast and test it. If it works, then great. If it doesn’t, return the Chromecast or consider getting the HDFury Arcana. The Arcana allows any external media device, like a Chromecast, to bypass your TV’s limitations and send audio directly to the Beam.

According to the first post: “LG tv (65uf772v-zw)”.

Thanks. Sorry, I missed that.

    I have tried a little more. I have an chromecast ultra. I can't get 5.1 with Netflix. I tried a lot of different soundsettings (stereosound or no sound). But when I use svtplay app (swedish) I get 5.1 with the ultra. They probebly obly sens DD. So the problem is two things. Netflix (and Disney + I think) will not send in DD thru my phone (only DD+) and my tv will not send DD+ to my sound system. When I use Netflix with my tv box (Arris 4302) Netflix seems to only send DD which works. I will further try an Apple TV and se what happends.

    You could be on to something. Just a small correction: your phone only sends the Chromecast the link and your log in to Netflix etc. It does not send any stream (unlike Airplay 1).
