Playbar 7.1 audio input -> 5.1 output.
Just had a 4K Blu-ray which only has a 7.1 audio track. When playing the app states stereo output. Are there any plans to support 7.1 audio tracks or drop the extra 2 channels and just output to 5.1v

Just an update. I set my hdmi audio out (hdmi to tv) on my Xbox to bitstream Dolby digital and it’s now coming through as 5.1 via the optical cable.
Thanks again.
Cheers for the response. Didn’t even consider that limitation! Thanks.

You cannot run 7.1 audio over s/pdif optical, so this would require newer hardware than today's Playbar/base, with HDMI capability. Best bet today would be to get your player or TV to down-convert to 5.1.
