How to force DTS Transcoding to DD5.1 on Sony Bravia Plex App (Google TV)

Is it somehow possible to force the Plex Media Server to convert a DTS audiostream to DD5.1 on the Plex Android App? I’m using a new Sony A80J with the new Google TV Platform with a Sonos Beam and Symfonisk 5.1 Setup.
Unfortunately Sonos does not support DTS. If I’m playing a Video Stream that has DTS i get no Sound at all.
Before i had an LG CX and it transcoded DTS without any issues!

Server Version#: 1.23.3.4707
Player Version#: 8.19.2.26377

I think the workaround currently is setting HDMI passthrough to ‘Optical’ in the app settings. I believe you lose the ability to pass through any HD audio though.
