Directtv stream app and Apple tv4K surround sound

So we have LG OLED CX TV and we run our apps through Apple TV4K. We have a 5.1 surround sound and the sound works flawlessly on apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO, and Apple TV. The only app that does not play in 5.1 surround is our DirectTV App. We do not have the DirectTV stream box. Any one know a way to get 5.1 surround to play through the DirectTV app?

Hi @Fishinfry  happy to help you with the sound issue.

We know it is crucial to get the best quality for your service. Let's try the following as basic troubleshooting.

1. On your AppleTV select settings, then audio & video.
2. Make sure:

-Audio Out is set to Apple TV.

-Sound Effects and Music are set on.

-In Surrounds Sounds settings, make sure that Best Quality Available is selected.

Let us know how it goes.

Please make a new post. Be sure to include troubleshooting you have tried, when this became an issue, if the directv app is up to date(along with the Apple TV software), any error codes, etc,

I will be closing this thread.
