Help with Netflix sound options

by -ThereCanBeOnly1

I have a Shield TV Hooked up to a receiver (Pioneer VSX-923) and of course TV from there. However, at the moment I only have 2 speakers hooked up in stereo (not 5.1 yet, in due time). I want to force Netflix to always play in stereo (or original format, just the one that doesn't say 5.1 or surround sound), because I've noticed that there's a 5-10 dB gain in volume, or at least noticeable improvement. I've looked through the settings in the Netflix app, but its very limited in options. Google hasn't yielded any good search results. So I'm hoping someone else out there has a similar setup.

Extra info: I have my receiver set up to 2 speakers and stereo mode and all that. The issue is with the source material.

Tl;Dr: want Netflix to play stereo in all shows/movies, can't find settings or if possible.

As far as I remember you can just select the stereo audio track while watching the video. Not sure if there's a way to make it a permanent choice.
