I did some digging and stlll not entirely sure if I understand all options / info is a couple of years old to get 5.1 surround and hence adding a new question.
1. Is there a way to achieve 5.1 with the Roku Ultra player itself? I have set audio and HDMI settings to Dolby Digital (not Dolby Digital Plus) but still getting Stereo when checking the app (more / settings / about sonos). Can I add a HDMI switch to get roku to work? Note that the roku app even when connected with a TV does not provide 5.1 with same settings for some reason although the native samsung tv netflix app does.
2. If I cannot get 5.1 out of Roku, what are my other options? Bluray player recommendations that are known to work with projectors? (The ones I could find in the threads are no longer available)
3. Another point I learnt from here is that the projector may not pass through 5.1 even is the source does. Any solution for that? Like a HDMI switch?
4. If HDMI switch will work in my scenario, and since I have optical out from the projector, anything specific options to look for in such an HDMI switch? Any recommendations that are tested?
