Curious if your receiver is actually getting LPCM 5.1 or still only getting 2.0. In my case the TV apps output correctly and only passthrough devices get downgraded. If I connect my devices directly to my receiver (same cables) they work fine. When my ps5 is using Dolby I can get surround sound through the tv passthrough, but if I swap it to PCM it gets converted to stereo. That said, maybe I'll try messing with the the wires and do another test.

That's interesting. I tried to do what you suggested but switching the output to optical yielded no sound. Had to turn it back to hdmi eArc to get sound.

It's probably better to connect your devices to the TV directly and using Arc or eArc, send the sound to your audio device (you might need to change tv setting). But it's worth noting that the current Samsung TV firmware has issues with eArc audio passthrough and can't send Atmos. It turns it into stereo before sending it. Dolby surround works. I think samsung is working on a fix, but not 100% sure.

I have an 8K Q800T. My receiver is eARC compatible and connected to the eARC HDMI input 3. Apps built into the TV correctly output 5.1 surround with atmos, but any devices connected to the TV via HDMI (using audio passthrough) get converted to 2 channels. With PS4 Pro, LPCM 5.1 output gets received as LPCM 2.0 by my receiver after going through the TV. But if I use the Dolby Bitstream output, then the receiver correctly gets 5.1 Dolby. Nintendo Switch, after going through the TV is LPCM 2.0 as well. Connecting either device directly to my receiver works fine. Note this sounds like the same issue: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/4k-8k-and-Other-TVs/Q90T-audio-passthrough-is-broken/m-p/1400077#M25352
