A 2.1 signal will work with 5.1 by sending left to left, right to right, and sub to sub, and your center and L/R back speakers are unused. Isn't that what you want?

I've told myself I would never buy a Sony TV after having come across a few that lacked any way to turn off overscan, for example. We've had weird issues with Sony tablets running Kodi where the touch screen doesn't always work. I wouldn't be surprised if some Sony AVRs are a little weird as well.

Exactly, that's what I said.
But he claims, that when the source is 2.0 not 2.1, he doesn't hear any bass in his subwoofer unless he upmixes, which makes no sense to me (no offense), so I decided to stay out of this.

I don't think there are any meaningful 2.1 sources of content. Even in theaters where there is no .1 channel but there is a subwoofer, there's just a lowpass filter used. Funny story, cinema DTS is not even the same encoding technology as the DTS in home video, and cinema DTS is 5.0, a lowpass filter is used to get a signal for the subwoofer during playback in the theater. (Assuming there are any classic DTS theaters around, I figure they all vanished when DCP replaced 35mm. o.O)

What are you watching that has 2.1 source audio?
I've scanned my entire media library (about 600 video media files .mp4, .mkv, ..etc that span 1930s through 2015) and here is the rough breakout:
Mono = One Channel = 1.0 = ~50 Videos
Stereo = Two Channel = 2.0 = ~400 Videos
Surround = 6 Channel = 5.1 = ~150 Videos
Not a single video has "2.1 Source" or "3 Channel Audio".... so again, what are you watching that has 2.1 source audio?
I think you are smoking too much kush.

Honestly man, you're really getting on my nerves with your know it all attitude and passive aggressive insults.
First of all, plenty of videos have 2.1 as a source, I took a pic of one just for you, the image is sideways but you get the point
Second, you keep accusing me and everyone of not reading when it fact you're the one not reading. I and everyone else understood you perfectly
You want 2.0 videos to upmix to 2.1
You want 3.0 videos to upmix to 3.1
You have 5.1 speakers
Setting your speakers to 5.1 and turning off upmix works perfectly for everyone if you don't want an upmix from 2.0 to 5.1. You say you hear no bass when you do that, I don't know what to tell you, sorry. But quit it with the attitude...

Also, I'll give you 1,000 dollars if you show me the answer to my other thread in the next 5 minutes. Cause all that proved to me is that you don't read, when you accuse everyone else of not reading.

Ideally it shouldn't even touch the 0.1 channel unless the source is 2.1 to begin with, instead let the bassmanagement in receiver deal with it. But I guess it can be considered some sort of a hack in case you use a 7.1 soundcard directly to poweramps. (But you really shouldn't.. since Kodi still lacks basic bass managment) Anyways, I digress ...
This feature request isn't needed. To OP: Your speaker setup isn't set up right. Enter you AVR's speaker setup and put all your speakers too small. Case solved. Don't think this is a hacky workaround, it's the *only* right way.
