Check the signal being sent, too. Make sure it is at most Dolby Digital, and not Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, or Atmos of any kind.

@eeropalm 

An AD converter isn’t a good option at all because that would cause a delay and reduces audio format to stereo. 
I recommend to use a hdmi audioextractor with toslink out.

How to change in or check in Mac mini?

Depends, I suspect, on the app in use, as well as the Mac’s settings. Have you asked Apple?

Imo you just have to avoid Dolby Atmos because Sonos Ray isn’t compatible with that. DD+ always has got a DD core within and even DTS standard 5.1 is compatible with Ray. 
Audio settings have to be set individually on the used software player.
