Roku Ultra surround lost until factory reset
- 7 months ago
You need to verify that you have Volume Modes disabled (these disable multichannel audio).
These are often enabled by default for many firmware versions/builds, so a Factory Reset may re-enable them if you previously disabled them. To make matters worse these audio settings are "hidden" and only available during playback.
To disable Volume Modes for your 4660:
1) During playback (of any video) press remote Options (*)/Volume mode = Off
Otherwise your audio-related settings should be configured as follows:
1) Settings/Audio/Audio mode = Auto
2) Settings/Audio/Preferred Streaming format = Auto
3) Settings/Audio/Digital output format = Auto
Note: If your connected device only supports DD/AC3 (and not DD+/EAC3), you will be limited to stereo audio in many apps/services that ONLY use DD+ (e.g. NetFlix, Prime, Disney+, Max, Peacock).
You can check for DD+ support if you HIGHLIGHT Settings/Audio/Digital output format = Auto - you should see DD+/Dolby Digital+/Dolby Atmos listed as Available for full 5.1 support in all apps/services.
