Hello,

I have the current setup:
Apple 4K TV connected to the Sony XBR65X930E TV using HDMI 2
XBOX One X Connected to same TV using HDMI 3
TV connected to playbar using optical audio
Sub and two play 1 to create surround sound - connected through ethernet for one of the play 1.

When i use the Xbox One games, i see 5.1 under Sonos App, settings, About.
Apple 4K TV shows stereo even though i adjusted the selection within ATV sound settings to Dolby 5.1 - i get sound but Sonos app shows Stereo and not 5.1

I tried Netflix, CBS, NBC, and FOX apps within Apple TV and only get Stereo.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

It sounds like you need to check the audio settings of the TV itself and make sure your optical connection is allowing to pass 5.1 through.

Thank you. I did check and it is allowing 5.1 as my xbox one x shows up as 5.1 in Sonos app using the same connection.

Oh yeah. Overlooked that part. Can you try switching the HDMI ports? Plug the Apple TV into the HDMI port you're using for Xbox.
