hello everyone.

I would like to ask you for help.

I use kodi streaming services and all my movies play in audio track: stereo PCM.

I own a sonos Beam gen 2 + 2x ikea symphonisks.

The last movie I saw now, John Wick 4, had audio features: codec atcs a/52b (ac-3, e ac-3); 6 channels; layout 5.1 (side).

Could I ask You for advice on how to get my movies to play at least in 5.1 format (when the side speakers are connected)?

Thank you very much

I have my Nvidia Shield sound out set to ‘Auto’ if I play John Wick 4 from the Amazon Prime App on that device, I get this audio output in the Sonos App via my LG C9 TV (See attached)

      I note that you’re in Czechoslovakia. Make sure that the language track you are watching is in the correct format…they aren’t always so.

      Hello.

      I found one interesting thread with an answer here, see below. thanks to this setting, Xiaomi can also play a movie with Dolby Atmos. I don't understand, something between heaven and earth…

        Go to Settings/Sound/Sound Out and set the HDMI-ARC connection ‘Digital Sound Out’ to ‘Pass-Through’. And I set to automatic , now it’s change to Dolby digital 5.1!
