Interesting. Setting the passthrough to “Optical” and unchecking DTS works. I get 5.1 audio sent to the Chromecast. Setting passthrough back to HDMI gives me the “unable to play back” error.
Leaving it on optical is an acceptable workaround for now.
Unfortunately the latest version of the Android-TV app 8.29.0.30433 has broken this workaround. DTS 5.1 is back to playing in stereo on my Chromecast with Google TV.
Plex for Android 8.29.0
Available on Google Play and the Amazon App Store .
NOTE: We are performing a staged rollout, which means the update may take a day or two before it becomes available.
FIXES:
Player: prefer non-PCM output when playing over ARC.
Player: ensure notification doesn’t block playback on Samsung devices.
[TV] Do not focus ‘update’ button by default on PMS update banner.
[TV] Ensure dimmed art takes into account the current theme.
