Issue ID/Serial number/Software version and build:
Issue ID: TX-031-209
Model: 3820RW Streaming Stick 4K
Serial number: X01700EDSJTX(S09041CDSJTX)
GC Version: 12.10.27
Anything else we should know?:
This issue started around 1/8 and 1/9, all content all of sudden presented in stereo only, and it is still ongoing. I contacted Paramount Plus twice, they told me it is the Roku firmware update that has caused this issue. Contacted you a few times on the phone, one support agent said you guys have been working on this issue and it would be solved in 48 hours which did not happen. The issue is still affecting us. Please work with Paramount Plus to get this issue resolved. It is unacceptable that Paramount Plus is only in stereo under Roku. Thanks, please let us know the progress and if there is any update.
That's all we need! Read more for additional details.
Thank you @Chung50, for providing your Roku device details.
We would also like to have the Channel build version and the Software version and build of the Roku device.
You can find the Channel build version by highlighting the channel and pressing the star (*) button on your Roku remote. The Software version and build can be found by going to Settings > Select System > Software update > Check now.
We will wait for your update.
Thanks,

Same problem here. P+ only outputs Stereo despite that show is 5.1 or Atmos. Other apps like Max and netflix do not have this problem. I am using the optical output of my TV, my settings are correct.
