In the TV settings, go to Sound > Digital Audio Out and select Auto.

Choose the “Dolby Digital over HDMI” setting on the Fire TV Stick.

Then test a 5.1 film from Netflix and see what audio format is displayed on the Now Playing screen in the Sonos app. Ideally it should say “Dolby Digital 5.1”:

YouTube TV supports 5.1 audio but not from all channels or programs. But even if the program is only in stereo, you should still be hearing some ambient audio from the surround speakers.

Have you adjusted the TV Level slider higher under the Surround Audio settings in the Sonos app?

What audio format is displayed in the Sonos app when streaming the football game from YouTube TV?
