I connected my new LG TV (http/www.lg.com/us/tvs/lg-55UF6450-4k-uhd-led-tv) with a Home Theater system by Samsung (http/www.bestbuy.com/site/samsung-4-series-500w-5-1-ch-3d-smart-blu-ray-home-theater-system-black/3188027.p?id=1219573000941&=3188027).
The HTS is connected to the TV in the HDMI ARC port, and when I am watching 5.1 capable content on the HTS, it works perfectly fine. I tested this with a few movies and 5.1 capable content on Netflix and Blu-Ray.
However, on the TV itself, I used Netflix (both Chromecasted from my phone as well as the native apps on the TV) to only hear it us the two speakers. I set the TV to use the HDMI ARC/Optical Cable option, so by all accounts that's going well. To compound my issue, I noticed on my PS4, it also only does two speakers. I purchased an Amazon Basic Optical Cable, set that as my output, and it still only does two speakers.
