Youtube English Audio unavailable with surround sound 5.1

Movies that have multiple language audio tracks available in youtube, when playing on roku tv with surround sound 5.1 option chosen, English audio track becomes unavailable, doesn't appear in list. Multiple people are reporting this issue.

When in youtube mobile app on android no such issue seems to be there as surround sound option not available.

    It's not clear what you're saying, but this would be Youtube's issue, not Roku's.  Roku devices do have limited support for the multitude of audio codecs, so that may have something to do with it.

      What the person is say is when 5.1 surround sound in selected in the Youtube app the English language option is no longer available.  Doesn't matter what device you're using i.e. Roku, Shield TV, etc......

        Yes. This is happening exactly as described. Watch an American movie like Jurassic Park and it's in dubbed Spanish. Go to audio tracks setting and only non-english dubbed languages available. Original language option not available. It's broken.
