Underwhelming DD 5.1 from OTA broadcast

It was my first time watching the Super Bowl over the air since cutting the cord.

My biggest issue was the audio. I could barely hear any bass from the woofer. The surround sounds were faint too.

A quick Gemini query suggests that the Channels App and/or FireTV stick settings may need to be adjusted.

Any idea how I can go about it?

What did Gemini say'?

Channels just passes along whatever is broadcast. Perhaps you need to adjust the audio settings directly on your tv set first.

Next time, watch it directly live, and play with the tv settings until it sounds like you want. If you need to, go over to Avsforums and ask. Post in whatever forum matches your particular tv set. Or, do a search on your tv's model number. There might already be a post explaining how to set the audio settings. AVS Forum

DD doesnt work in my case on the Channels Fire TV app. Live TV which i know has a DD 2.0 or DD 5.1 audio feed will not decode on my AV amp. Ive tried to get this working numerous times. I have to use Plex for DD decoding.
