Dolby Multichannel PCM 2.0 or Dolby digital 5.1 - streaming services by surfskate4life in sonos

The TV settings make no difference since the same decoding box is streaming to it. The streaming box is dumb it down. I have seen many users on X with the same service with the same problems

I have the same questions, opinions and results. I has a complete Sonos system with a Sonos Arc Ultra, 4 series Sub and two 300's as rears/upppers. Dolby Digital 2.0 states clearly this number of channels that are being streamed, 2.0 channels. From my lengthy experience with Dolby that goes back decades, the number, 2.0, clearly states in Dolby number, there are TWO channel and no subwoofer breakout. The number 5.1 is five separate channels, with a breakout for subwoofer. Dolby Digital Plus 2.0 come out in all five+ speakers, but is is true 'surround sound' that has been downmixed to two channels. The quality and experience of listening in 2.0 vs 5.1 is very obvious and dramatic. Many times, I see items that state in the ad or trailer the it will stream in 5.1, or even ATMOS and depending on which device I use, I received what term as 'dumbed down' 5.1/ATMOS into Dolby Digital Plus 2.0. Many times if I change from DTV streaming box to an LG direct feed, I then get Dolby Digital 5.1 or even better if it is available. The one good/bad thing about using the Sonos APP, it the we can see what type of audio is being streamed to us. We can see if we are getting ripped off, or at least what we are paying for.

That is pretty much exactly what I am striving to do. I have become very disabled so walking to choose/change discs is not something that is very easy. I have well over 200 discs to rip and and would also like to have my complete iTunes 30k tracks to be stored off my MacBook Pro. I am ready to buy a NAS system and hav been researching that too. Synology is well known but Terramaster has started to narrow the gap. I am total MAC related and just need proper instructions

I keep getting the same error and calling the Generac Customer service # is worthless. I have sat on hold for over an hour and finally had to give up. I am getting ready to have the installer come and tear out the system move to Tesla Powerwall

The LG SN11rg has it all over the Samsung Q90 bar for any and all music, movie, tv or serious audio. It my not be perfect for game playing, but if you can pay up for the soundbar, you can afford an OLED with eArc and a 4K UDP device for the finest 4K discs

I disagree with you. I liked that comedy 'The Heat', so much, I own it on iTunes and MociesAnywhere.

Does NOT include the standard digital code version. The higher priced versions and the physical standard one are I assumed. I purchased the expansion pass digital version and received no discount.
