A bit confused regarding audio levels on my MiBox and Netflix

by queue_together

I only use my TVs speaker(s), so I want stereo and never 5.1/surround. In MiBox settings I have Surround disabled, however when I load into Netflix, it auto defaults to 5.1 audio and I have to manually change it to Normal or else my MiBox's remote wont be able to control the volume. Anyone find a way around this and force stereo sound across the board?

I'll also add in, it's annoying having 5.1 on stereo because the volume levels are always changing, talking is dead silent while explosions are way too loud.
