4k audio
Why is the audio on the 4K channels coming through as two channel PCM when the audio on the non-4K channel for the same program is showing as Dolby digital?

In my testing, the 2 channel issue only happens when the original source material is 2.0. I observed it on MLB Extra Innings baseball games that are 2.0. Also saw it on old programs. Seems like the Xi6 is converting everything to 5.1 PCM regardless of what's in the channels.
I'm looking at the Indiana game in 4K right now. In Auto, I get Atmos/PCM. In Expert, my Xi6 outputs it as 5.1 PCM in a Dolby MAT envelope. When i switch to the regular Fox HD channel, it's DD+ 5.1 in Expert.

@user_x1npns Have they explained anything ... or just asked you to report things?
They, of course, have access to an Xi6 and can see what it does. And there must be technical specs.
