Hi all, I have kodi on my HTPC, films work fine with 5.1 but when I installed the you tube app the only audio stream available is undetermined -AAC stereo - 2 channels [default] (1/1) . I assume the dolby 5.1 test videos should have another 5.1 stream available, I can't see any other settings for the app.
Any suggestions would be appreciated .

Youtube doesn't do Dolby audio, and doesn't do any 5.1 except on a limited number AndroidTV devices. Thus any soundcheck video on Youtube is completely useless, you need the original file which will sometimes be linked in the description.

Ah slightly more types of devices than I thought, but my understanding is it's only AAC 5.1 only unless you can find something that says different.

It seems there may be an issue with the YouTube app on your Windows 10 PC not outputting 5.1 audio through Kodi. Ensure your audio settings are configured correctly in both applications, and consider updating drivers for optimal performance.
