Hisense U6G no surround Playbar

Using the playbar and 2 play1 surrounds with an optical connection. Hisense U6G TV set to Dolby Digital for digital optical audio out. No audio from the surrounds when the TV output is Dolby digital. The Sonos app shows Dolby Digital 5.0 when audio is playing. But nothing from surrounds. When I set the audio to pass through or auto it shows Stereo PCM. And there is some audio from the surrounds but it’s just stereo. Any thoughts?

Confirmed with using an Apple TV I get full surround. So it must be the way the TV is passing audio from the internal apps?

I think it’s a combination of the TV, apps, and Playbar. Most streaming apps only use Dolby Digital Plus for all 5.1 audio. The TV doesn’t seem to know how to handle a Dolby Digital Plus audio mix when it’s connected to a sound bar that is limited to Dolby Digital.
