Z forum nvidia:
Guys. It’s a miracle.
I have a Logitech Z906 sound system, connected with SPDIF to my Sony X930D tv. The Nvidia Shield is connected to my tv via HDMI.
Since the new Android 8.0 Pie update there’s some new options for Audio (Shield, Settings, Device Preferences, Display & Sound, Advanced sound settings. Under ‘Surround Sound’ choose ‘Available formats’, ‘Manual: Select which formats to use’ and then activate the ‘E-AC3 (Dolby Digital plus/DD+)’ slider.
My Z906 isn’t supposed to support this format, and SPDIF isn’t supposed to transfer DD+, but it does, and it works, and Netflix has 5.1 sound now
