    What audio settings have you got on the output from the stick?

    I don't have a stick, but there's got to be some audio settings when you're using the stick. Some sort of menu where you can change the audio settings.

    I'm looking at the Amazon website, and there appears to be a menu button on the remote. What happens when you push that button? Is there a menu item that says "Audio" or something like that?

    Perhaps you may want to call Amazon, and ask them how to change the audio settings? Explain to them you're trying to get Dolby Digital out of the Fire Stick.

    I have a similar issue. Im only getting stereo output from firestick 4K. When I go to Audio tab, I have to select "Best Available". If I choose Dolby Digital no sound at all comes out of playbar.

    But If i switch inputs to an HD OTA antenna, I get 5.1 surround.

    So frustrating!

    Getting audio from a source via the TV to the Beam depends on al devices. So if you can’t change audio on the Amazon device, try changing the audio output settings on your TV.

    Your TV may lack the ability to pass 5.1 through your connection. What TV do you have? And what Sonos speaker are you connected to (Playbar, Playbase or Beam)?
