YouTube is normally only stereo. There are 5.1 test samples online.

I’ve not found a true 5.1 yet. Alll I get is Dolby 2.0

Searching is useless, because even the YouTube videos that claim to be 5.1 are only in stereo 2.0. They are automatically downgraded when uploaded in order to save space. Sometimes the videos marked as 5.1 or Atmos offer a download of the real thing, but that is not standard.

If you search for Dolby Labs in a service that does provide working files you will find some to use. Amazon Music offers a nice selection if you have the service level that enables Atmos.
