nvidia HDMI 5.1 soundbar

from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6FBGH)
Hello. When I connect HDMI directly to my soundbar, which then sends the signal out to my TV, I get 5.1 surround without any issues. When I connect to my TV directly and then output to the soundbar through the TV's EARC port, I only get front left and front right channels. What's more, when I run the speaker test (cinnamon sound applet), front left and front right each come out of all channels, but clicking on any of the other channels produces nothing. Perhaps misunderstanding that the issue was specific to EARC, I purchased a "sound extractor" device, specifically THIS ONE, and I still get the exact same behavior when extracting the sound and outputting it to the soundbar via optical cable.

I am currently running Debian 11 and am trying to output 5.1 through an nvidia rtx 3070. The issue is not HDMI cables, as these were at least advertised on amazon with good reviews as 2.1, 48gbps ... I am thinking the issue has to do with the TV and the audio extractor device not understanding what the nvidia card is saying.

While I can get 5.1 through the soundbar, this does not pass 4k/120hz with HDR to my new TV. I saw some other threads where it was recommended to provide output from inxi -Fxxxrz, so here is what I get from that:
