The only app on my Fire TV Cube gen2 that can output a 5.1 bitstream is Amazon Video. With any other player, it will downmix a 5.1 audio track to 2.0 stereo. My soundbar will always indicate 2.0 Dolby Digital, except when I stream Amazon content, then I get 5.1 DD. So the hardware setup works.
Does anyone know of any player app that will put out 5.1 DD over HDMI when the content provides it? Tried VLC and MXPlayer, and they won't do it.
