Disney+ only 2 channel audio

[GIANTsquatch]

I have Chromecast Ultra connected via HDMI into Onkyo TX-RZ740 receiver. I get 5.1 audio on Netflix and YouTube but Disney+ is only giving me 2 channel PCM through the Chromecast. I get 5.1 on Disney+ through my PS5.

Any ideas what might be causing this issue?

Hello GIANTsquatch,

Thanks for reaching out. The Chromecast devices output surround sound if a particular app supports it, and if the Audio/Video Receiver (AVR) or TV it's plugged into tells the Chromecast over Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) that it supports 5.1, AC3, and AC3/EAC3 surround sound. If the TV or AVR do not support one of these settings, Chromecast will not output surround sound.

Also, you may try to reinstall the Disney+ app and try again. If the issue persists and this is isolated when using the Disney+ app, please reach out to the app developer for further help.

Regards,

Jennifer
