Stereo PCM instead of 5.1 or 7.1 after tvOS 17 update ?

Is anyone else having an issue where after the update to tvOS 17, anything 5.1 or 7.1 plays in stereo? Atmos works fine, but the only way to get 5.1 is by changing the audio format. I can also trigger 5.1 by toggling Pass-Through on and off in the TV settings however this then creates a noticeable 2-3 second delay. Literally started happening since the update…

For reference I have a Sonos Beam 2 setup , hopefully a fix can be rolled out soon?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15

Same here. Sadly it’s been broken for a while now. Either Apple isn’t aware or has no idea how to fix it. I’ve gone back to using my TV apps. Makes the Apple TV 4K unusable for me with most content.

The good thing is that it will be solved in the next update.
