5.1 Surround works on Apple TV app, but not Netflix or Prime

Hi, my Roku streaming stick plus is plugged in to my TV, I then have an HDMI ARC connection to my Amp which is Dolby Digital + capable.  I can hear movies in 5.1 when viewing via the Apple TV app, but Disney Plus, Netflix and Prime Video only come out 2 channel PCM. Any ideas?  Thanks in advance

The only other app besides Apple TV that allows Dolby Digital 5.1 is HBO/MAX.

I am only getting PCM with VUDU, Disney +, Movies Anywhere, Amazon Video, Fandango..

This is odd! I even uninstalled a couple and reinstalled and the same.
