I’m trying to play some 5.1 tracks on the Plex player in my Apple TV and while it plays the audio, it is being converted to 2.0 for some reason. Could 5.1 support be added to Plex Music? Videos with 5.1 audio plays just fine.

Bug has been around since at least end of May. See thread here:Apple TV App not playing 5.1 audio music files anymore
