Dolby soundtrack not in passthrough on NVidia Shield Pro - Fox1977 - 2025-01-19

Hello !
My NVidia Shield Pro is connected to an A/V receiver. Android TV sounds options are set  up properly and if i play Dolby Digital or Atmos movies with Netflix, Disney+ or Apple TV+, the receiver detects the soundtrack as the right format, but whenever i play such tracks with Jellyfin, my receiver detects them as PCM. In the Playback settings of Jellyfin, in the Audio Output section, i selected Direct and in the advanced settings i activated the Dolby Digital Audio stream option. But wether it's activated or not, it doesn't change anything.
What else can be done ?
Thanks

Do you have refresh rate switching enabled? When it's turned on, all I get is PCM audio from my Firestick.
