How to get 5.1 sound from FireStick

[vinothmanick]

i checked with onkyo,yamaha and also in a denon ...
everywhere i got DD+ signal but no signal for rear speakers only FL,FR& Center were active.

Ha ha not true at all. I care more for audio than video and fire stick does give out great sound. If your receiver is showing DD+ that means it is getting multi channel audio. Try playing with the surround speaker levels. Are they absolutely silent during movie playback.

iam using now in nvidia shield . i dont have any issues with that..

Hmm weird. Try the fire stick in someone else's setup. It's surprising when receiver is recognising a multi-channel input, there is no sound.

OK. Sorry I missed that post.
But did you try factory reset of your AVR?

 

[vinothmanick]

yes i took note of all the settings and did a factory reset too and more over if there is a issue with my receiver why it is happening in onkyo and denon too strange

Firestick 4k supports 5.1 sound even with youtube.Internet connection should be fast enough.
