No Dolby Digital Apple TV 3 firmware 6.1 (6698.99.16)

Same here. I reported the problem to Apple before, 6.1.1, have to do it again. C'mon Netflix, Apple, get this fixed.

Also the same here! Really annoying!

I am chatting with Netflix right now just to inform them...

Same thing here. DD was working after 6.1.1 but it's stopped a couple of days ago.

Just spoke with Netflix and they are aware of the issue and technicians are working with apple on a fix ... 😐 ... very annoying to say the least ... 😠

Coming up on two months now. This is bullcrap! The only thing i use my ATV3 for is netflix and i have to make due with crap audio? For stuff that costs this much money they should be working around the clock to get this fixed. Hurry it up!

You're probably relieved to get that off your chest but it doesn't accomplish anything. Neither Apple nor Netflix is present here, only fellow users with the same problem. You need to call or visit Netflix's website and open a report. Also send feedback to Apple.

Great advice - I have done both. I used the Netflix chat feature and the rep handled it really well - said it's a known issue and to watch out for an Apple TV update soon. Much better response than when I called a few weeks ago and they said it was probably my internet connection! Sheesh.

Glad I found this thread. I changed out my reciever a few days ago and was going mad trying to figure out why all my devices but my Apple TV 3 would output 5.1. I thought it was config problem, only to discover Itunes works fine but not Netflix.

I had the issue and was solved after 6.1.1 but seems like its back .. anyone else having the same issue?

Several post before yours is in relation to the issue showing back up.

That's what we've been talking about for the last week.

At least it gives us an interesting data point in the "Who f***ed up?" debate. Before we didn't know who to blame as it happened at same time as a firmware update. Pretty evident from this (happening at a time where there's no firmware update to blame) that Neflix is the culprit. I'm going to asking for free months .... yes .... that's a plural.

That's actually a great idea and I will be inclinded to follow suit.

Going to keep watching this thread and hoping for a resolution soon! Considering how important Netflix functionality is for AppleTV, I'm sucked this hasn't been fixed yet...thankfully my other Netflix-capable devices are working fine.

Same here.
