Any NowTV boost users stopped getting 5.1 on PS4?

I had no issues till I noticed yesterday my AV receiver was saying the source was 2.0 instead of 5.1

 

I have boost, surround source selected in settings.

 

PS4 outputting 5.1 for games and Netflix but no longer for NowTV Movies, not sure why this is happening. (These a 5.1 movies)

 

I've reinstalled the app, and checked the settings etc. It just seems to have stopped working.

That’s around the time I changed the PS4 sound outputs from linear pcm (which used to work) to bitstream Dolby which fixed it

I am already set to Bitstream (Dolby). 

 

Surround sound works for games, Netflix and Prime. It just doesn't work with NowTV where once it did.

Any update on this?

 

I too am having the same issues. Was fine before Christmas but now it's broken and only outputs stereo.

Issue persists for me. 

 

How can we attract attention of an admin to this group? How do we shout louder?

I gave up and used the BT YouView app. It suffers from buffering more than the PS4 but at least 5.1 works.

I don't have another device connected to the TV with access. And currently refusing to be forced to buy a "stick" because they've broken it!
