Dolby digital IPTV on firestick?

by Thejackk2

Hi all, I have plenty of vod or TV channels with Dolby Digital / AC3 sound tracks but I found no iptv player able to decode them on Firestick 4K. They always output in stereo. Is there a way to get dolby sound on itpv?

On my LG, I have to change the audio output to Optical (which feeds the AVR) to get 5.1. If the TV speaker is selected, the audio is only stereo.

Edit: in regards to 5.1 from IPTV sources, specifically, I have not experienced it.

Use VLC as the player and activate audio passthrough. This way your sound system is decoding and you get Dolby Atmos to play even when your hardware doesn't have dolby licenses.
