Some of the contents are with 5.1 PCM but only a very few devices have that support. For example, Nvidia shield TV.

Can some one download the video on a phone and play it on a avr to confirm . When you download it using apps like gettube there is a option for selecting the soundtrack and video quality select the video with dash and select the highest quality acc. After downloading the file it shows 5.1 soundtrac .
Many reported it works with kodi .Some say 5.1 works out of box with Chromecast connected to hdmi

Does YouTube support multichannel audio?
Hi Guys, Today I listened to a song in YouTube and it was giving multichannel audio output. There is no display on my Pioneer recieved, but the sound channel was seperated and perfect. Any body experiencing it? Btw, no surround mode is turned on in my reciever. It's set to direct mode.

Some contents were encoded in Dolby stereo or something and when played back, Pro logic can upmix it to multichannel surround sound.

There are few contents on Youtube that are non-stereo i.e., 5.1 or even 7.1
If you have a desktop that has a sound-card that supports 5.1 or 7.1 or surround (as mentioned), it will provide the multichannel output.
If I play 'such' youtube content on my Apple TV through a multichannel AV receiver, it does give multichannel audio output.
Examples of such audio on Youtube can be found simply by searching 'DTS Demo' or 'Surround Sound Demo'.
Can also take HDMI out of your laptop into a AV receiver to test this.

If you are using a desktop or laptop and are unable to get this desired multichannel output due to browser constrains, you can use the youtube url and play it using VLC player. We all have and use vlc, right ?
