Re: Paramount+ doesn’t play surround sound. Only stereo.

Jump to solution

I spoke to P+ support today and they blamed Roku.  I told them that’s funny because I watched TG Maverick on Saturday with Atmos and there hasn’t been a new firmware update since then for Roku. They’re deflecting no doubt. 

I will be dropping P+ soon especially if this doesn’t get fixed.

The problem is I already contacted Paramount Plus twice, they keep telling me the same thing and saying it is on Roku. I chatted with a support agent and they confirmed that Roku is having a problem and they have been trying to fix this issue. So telling us to contact Paramount Plus isn't going to fix the issue because they will keep telling us it is Roku. Please get in touch with your tech department. We should not keeping being thrown back and forth like a ping pong ball. Please work with Paramount Plus and get this issue fixed, thanks.

The audio is 2-ch or stereo in (2.0) regardless of what the program synopsis on Paramount Plus says.

So newest model of Firestick 4k solved my P+ audio issues. Can now listen in Atmos again. Just sucks having to switch from my beloved Roku to do this.
