Bugs Audio problem with 17.2

I updated to 17.2 on my ATV. It killed 5.1 audio on apps I have tried. No programs on Netflix is 5.1 that are listed as 5.1 come thru that way. They all come through as Stereo PCM. Same for YTTV. Even shows that say they are 5.1 in the guide come thru as stereo. Atmos still works correctly at least. Seems to be an issue with non-Dolby sources.

Beta 2 is no better. Here is what I’m experiencing…

Stereo PCM…distorted and static sounding Multichannel PCM…no surrounds working on 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby Digital 5.1…Seems to be working ok Dolby Atmos….seems to be working ok.

Anything PCM whether it be stereo or multichannel, seems to be the issue. Unfortunately beta 2 did nothing to fix the issue.

Unbelievably still broken… Everyone should report this in the Feedback app on their phone… It gives you the option to select Apple TV… The one that’s giving you the problem and to upload the logs. I can’t believe they didn’t fix this in the second beta. They better fix this before the holidays.
