Server Version#: 1.32.5.7349
Player Version#: N/A
The options for selecting an audio device is not available on my installation of the Plex Media Server. I’m attempting to configure the server to allow my home audio receiver to decode the audio. Did the latest version of Plex Media Server for Windows change? Or, did I not install it correctly? Any help is most appreciated.

Plex has two parts, the server and the client.
The server streams to the clients. It has no audio output nor ability to specify which output is used by a client.
Plex clients have the options to select audio output port, which codecs to passthrough, etc. The options vary by client.
Check the settings on the Plex client app you are using - Smart TV, Android TV, etc. If using a PC, then use the Plex Desktop or Plex HTPC apps instead of Plex Web, the browser interface.

Thank you so much for your reply. Most appreciated! So I was reviewing this and trying to find it in my media server app but it looks like be Plex may have discontinued the ability to configure this.
I’ve done the configuration on the player end but it’s not passing through the audio.
Your explanation makes perfect sense. I must not be doing something correctly on the player client end.
Thanks again for your response
That is not Plex Media server, Plex Media Server is not a player.
It is Plex for Windows player app (aka Desktop) which the download page was linked above.
Definitely helpful information. Thank you for clarifying that for me
