Plex has been badly converting 5.1 to 2 channel streams largely by losing almost all of the center channel, which is why converted audio on smart TVs has a huge dialog volume issue. This got fixed way back, and then it’s just persisted for more than a few years back now.
If youre as tired as I am of this, especially after paying Plex Pass every month, then I’m asking you to join me in building up as many of us as we can in an effort to get them to listen. This has gone on way too long.
