Hulu only playing in Stereo (DD2.0)

The Hulu running to my amplifier never outputs more than Stereo, even if it reads "Dolby Digital" it's actually "Dolby Digital 2.0" configuration (meaning only using 2.0 out of the 5.1 available). Netflix, Plex, Amazon all output correctly 5.1 sound to the amp via PCS, Dolby Digital, or DTS codecs.

Is anyone else experiencing this or are you guys able to get Hulu to output actual 5.1?

I'm on WebOS 2 with the 65OLED 2015 model LG 65EF9500. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the App, logged out and back in, and currently, have a Hulu Plus (US) subscription. The only thing I haven't tried is someone else's Hulu account on the TV.

 

Lastly, give us Profiles access already >.<

I have the exact same problem.  Hulu played through my xbox one plays in 5.1 so it is clearly a problem with the Hulu WebOS app.  Also none of the Hulu 4K content comes up on 4K, seems like they have some features to fix.

      LG WebOs only 1080 SDR
      By aholloway17
      Hi All,
      My TV will only display a good pisture when using 1080 sdr 30hz. Anything different and certain content will appear washed out, blue or green tint on setup and streaming pages. I believe my TV is connected correctly as the picture is fine so long as it is 1080 sdr. Thoughts?
      Thanks in advance

      Remote only works with double clicks
      By Dmytro Fadyeyenko
      My 65UQ70 TV started to ignore my remote yesterday. After some experiments I've found that it only reacts to double clicks now. So I have to use double clicks for any action - move through menus, launch apps etc, single clicks are just ignored.
      Resetting the TV to factory settings didn't help.
      I tried to google the issue and found that this might be an issue with the remote, but I can't find how to reset the remote of my model. Combinations like Home+Back (for Magic Remote) or 2+8 (for some old style remotes) don't work for my model, neither removing batteries and pressing all buttons does.
      My remote seems to be AKB76040302, a photo from the Internet is below.
      So, how do I reset it?
      Some other things to mention:
      - The pulses of the remote are not visible through a cell phone camera, so I couldn't check if it only sends signals to the TV after double clicks, or the TV is enforcing this issue. UPDATE: a cellphone sees the pulses in darkness, and a pulse is sent on each press, not only on doubles. So it should be TV OS issue, not the remote issue. 
      - This started to happen after I have updated the software and connected a sound bar with optical cable, though I believe the last action isn't related to the issue.

      LG OLED evo M5, the Only True Wireless OLED TV With G5’s Excellence in Picture Quality
      By News Reporter
      With Uncompromised, Low-Lag Performance at 4K 144Hz, LG’s Advanced Wireless
      Technology Sets a New Standard for Clutter-Free Gaming and Home Cinema

      SEOUL, July 3, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) has announced the global rollout of its newest wireless OLED TV series, the LG OLED evo M5 – a TV that combines LG’s advanced True Wireless technology1 with the industry-leading OLED picture quality of the G52 to reimagine the TV experience in a clutter-free setup.
      The M5 sets a new gold standard for premium wireless home entertainment. LG’s True Wireless technology eliminates the cable connection between the TV and external devices, thanks to LG’s proprietary Zero Connect Box,3 a visually lossless wireless video and audio transmission solution. Delivering ultra-smooth content with low input lag up to 4K 144Hz,4 the M5 boasts performance on par with a wired connection.
      The M5 offers next-level wireless technology for competitive gamers demanding ultra-responsive performance. Building on the legacy of LG’s OLED evo series, the M series is the only wireless TV compatible with both NVIDIA G-SYNC® and AMD FreeSync Premium to deliver a tear-free, stutter-free gaming experience even during fast-paced action up to 4K 144Hz. Certified by Intertek for Qualified Gaming Performance, the M5 features an ultra-fast response time of less than 0.1ms,5 delivering smooth, vibrant visuals in razor-sharp clarity.
      The M5 is the optimal TV for those seeking both a superb gaming experience and a more flexible, cleaner setup. A conventional TV offers multiple ports for commonly used HDMI devices like gaming consoles on the back of the screen, causing viewers to walk to the TV to power on devices or switch inputs. But on the M5, these ports can be found on the Zero Connect Box, enabling consoles to be placed within reach – on a nearby shelf, inside a cabinet, or next to the sofa. As a result, there are no cables between the TV and entertainment devices.
      The M5 is also a top-tier choice for home cinema enthusiasts, featuring Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and Filmmaker® Mode with Ambient Light Compensation for cinematic accuracy. Powered by the α (Alpha) 11 AI Processor Gen2, it offers enhanced depth and detail with AI Picture Pro, while AI Sound Pro enables immersive 11.1.2-channel audio. LG’s upgraded Brightness Booster Ultimate technology boosts screen brightness by up to three times compared to conventional OLED models.6 The M5 has also received UL Solutions’ “Perfect Black” and “Perfect Color” verification, along with certifications from Intertek for 100 percent color fidelity and 100 percent color volume. A “Perfect” grade by TÜV Rheinland7 further affirms the M5’s capability to maintain clarity even in bright indoor conditions.
      With a flush-fit design and no visible cable clutter, the LG OLED evo M5 delivers a truly immersive entertainment experience with the uncompromised performance of a wired setup.
      “For 12 consecutive years, LG has led the global OLED TV market and we are opening a new era of television with our leadership in wireless TV,” said Park Hyoung-sei, president of the LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. “The OLED evo M5 exemplifies our commitment to innovation and our pursuit of the ultimate in premium home entertainment.”
      The LG OLED evo M5 series will roll out globally in 97, 83, 77 and 65-inch screen sizes. To discover more about LG’s wireless OLED TVs, visit

      1 Wireless transmission refers to the transferring of video and audio signals between a TV screen and the Zero Connect Box. Visually lossless, based on internal test results with ISO/IEC 29170-2 and measurement results may vary depending on connection status.

      3 The TV and the Zero Connect Box each plug into the wall for power.
      4 LG 2025 OLED M5 series TVs up to 83 inches (screen size) provide support for 4K@144Hz. The 97-inch OLED M5 supports 4K@120Hz.
      5 LG OLED displays been certified as “0.1 response times (Gray to Gray)” and “Qualified Gaming Performance” by Intertek.
