No surround in Plex and other applications

by Briganti91

Hi, recently got a TCL C715 TV and I'm having trouble with getting 5.1 surround working through optical in Plex and Kodi and also VLC, I've tried every combination I could but nothing. It only puts out Stereo.

When accessing Plex with DLNA and using the built in Media player the surround works nicely.

Did anyone encountered this issue? Any tips? Thanks!

Edit: I tried it over ARC, same thing no surround when using apps only works with built-in player.

I have the same TV .. C717, have my 5.1 sony RT40 connected to HDMI ARC port of the TV. Enabled HDMI passthrough in Plex settings and I get 5.1, no issues. What files are you playing through plex?
