I cancelled my Hulu subscriotion the other day for, among other things, this and the horrible app UI.
 
Are you sure? Because in researching your issue for you, I have seen post after post all over the net that Hulu doesn't stream in surround sound. Only stereo. Are you sure your receiver isn't doing some pseudo surround sound thing?



You shouldn't have to. I just tried my ATV Hulu app and I got stereo just fine. I did have to change a setting on the receiver though that keeps getting overridden somehow. Maybe you have a similar situation? Or maybe you have an HDMI cable not seated properly or going bad? Or a port on the receiver going bad?
[doublepost=1506140168][/doublepost]OMG! I just checked Hulu again because I wanted to catchup on Battlestar Galactica without all the commercials on the SyFy App and it's fixed on the Apple TV! It's in stereo for the first time in over a year. I haven't checked to see if they corrected the mobile app. I imagine the problem with the iPhone App, which is recent, finally drew their attention because so many users use headphones.

Since I use Bluetooth headphones with my ATV4, I'm happy to report that mine is back in stereo (at least every show that I have checked!)

I was just about to post this. Finally after about a year and over a dozen updates Hulu is back in stereo. Good because Hulu is so smooth on the Apple TV. On the Fire TV it is a laggy mess and the Roku which plays smooth but it is quite slow and clunky to navigate.

Why does it take these lazy dev's nearly a year to fix something that should be fixed right away? I am glad it is fixed but I am worried the next update might break it again.
