According to YouTube TV’s support website, if you have a compatible hardware setup and the program you’re watching supports 5.1 audio, it should turn on automatically. If you’re watching something and aren’t sure if it’s coming through, open the appropriately named “Stats for geeks” box and see if you can locate AC-3/EAC-3 under the codecs area, which shows you’re on the correct stream.
