Roku doesn't pass 5.1 EAC3 Audio
Hi, Our video streams audio are EAC3 encoded and can either hold 5.1 or Atmos audio. The issue is when my Roku Streaming Stick+ is connected to a Dolby Digital TV, the Roku settings show Audio Mode...

One of my biggest user complaints used to be that some of the videos were silent. After examining closer it seems they had MP3 or AC3 tracks? I didn't want to risk converting to any other audio formats so I'm not sure what else works, but "AAC" always works for my Roku 3 and TV.
I wouldn't want to wish this **bleep** on anybody but what if somebody converted hundreds of their videos to use an unsupported audio format and then uploaded them all to an S3 account. Talk about a nightmare. Maybe Roku can quit trying to fix things that aren't broken and focus on the video player features, like a VR 360 mode!! :) :)
Absolutely agree. Our users couldn't see even the silent videos, as the player started throwing error while attempting to play the stream. The stream had only one audio track so the Roku couldn't do much. I would take your suggestion of putting a additional AAC track in the stream and check.
