Apple TV 4K not playing 5.1 audio music files on Mac
I recently purchased an Apple TV 4K and can play Apple purchased, streamed content in Dolby Digital 5.1 as expected. However, when I play AC3 Dolby Digital 5.1 movie files from the TV Library (formerly iTunes) on my Mac, they are only output in Stereo. Another oddity noticed is that after starting playback of a video file (in Stereo), if I hit Pause and Play, the AC3 blue indicator on my AVR will light up like it's an AC3 file. However, it's still in Stereo with no output to the center, sub and rear speakers. Never had this problem with my old G4 ATV.
Cabling - 4K ATV (audio setting 5.1 Dolby Digital) => HDMI => Samsung Q60 output 5.1 Dolby Digital => Optical => Sony AVR.
Anyone know how to play content from your Mac library on the 4K ATV in DD 5.1 - anything other than stereo?
