No surround sound in Netflix (using optical)

First off, I love my Xbox One. I'm a Day One owner.

But the Netflix app won't output surround sound correctly. All my games output surround flawlessly and have since day one.

My sound is outputting through the optical out to my Marantz AVR.

My usual audio setting on the Xbox One is set to Optical >> Bitstream out >> DTS Digital Surround. Using this setting, I get only the left/right channels in Netflix—no center channel or surround at all. (My games output 5.1 sound perfectly with this setting,
and have since day one.)

If I change the setting to Optical >> Stereo Uncompressed, I get the center channel and left/right channels in Netflix—but still no surround at all.

And yes, I'm watching programs that are clearly listed as 5.1.

I've seen a few other people with this problem, but no solutions. Any ideas? (Yes, I've hard-reset my Xbox, etc.) Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Surround Sound issues using XBOX ONE (games work in 5.1, apps only in stereo)

First off, I love my Xbox One. I'm a Day One owner. But I'm having similar sound issues using the optical out.

My Netflix app won't output surround sound correctly. All my games output surround flawlessly and have since day one. Also, last weekend I installed the Amazon Instant Video app and the surround sound works flawlessly with 5.1 programs in that app. So it
appears to be a problem with the Netflix app itself.

I've seen a few other people with this problem, but no solutions. Any ideas? (I've tried hard-resetting my Xbox, etc.) Like I said, my games and the Amazon Instant Video app all output 5.1 sound perfectly. But not Netflix.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

 

No surround sound using Netflix app? (using optical out)

First off, I love my Xbox One. I'm a Day One owner.

But I just started using the Netflix app, and it won't output surround sound correctly. All my games output surround flawlessly and have since day one. Also, this weekend I installed the Amazon Instant Video app and the surround sound works flawlessly
with 5.1 programs in that app.

Update: I installed the Amazon Instant Video app and the surround sound works flawlessly with 5.1 programs in that app.

So this indicates the problem is with the Netflix app itself.

Anyone else experiencing this? Is there possibly a fix coming?
