on streaming device, Settings, Advanced, disable Passthrough.
that will solve all problems with AC3 and AC3 5.1

No, it won’t:

Issues with AC3 5.1 audio on firestick

Server Version#: Version 1.18.0.1944 Player Version#: Hi, I have an issue with audio playback on some files. Generally it all works fine, but if a file has AC3 5.1 on it only, I just hear background noises, no voices etc. My setup is basic, Plex server running on a PC, with a firestick plugged into my TV. Just using TV speakers so not fussed about audio quality, but just want it to work. I’ve seen some guides on how to lower the audio coding output but can’t see settings to do so on my server…

At my house Passthrough works as intended 'cause the TV can downmix AC3 5.1.

Above link clearly shows nothing works for @samg_TV - as Plex refuses to recognize the TV can NOT downmix AC3 5.1 and also refuses to Direct Stream a transcoded audio mix that includes the dialog <---- and that’s pretty dam important, if you ask me.
