There is no problem except how you have your settings. MPC handles 5.1 audio and all others as well, I can assure you. I'm using 7.1 settings with Atmos, DTS:X, etc with all the players I use and their settings.
In KODI (since your system is 5.1) set audio to 5.1 Wasapi in both settings and enable the formats your AVR handles. Now you will have proper audio when using videoplayer.
In MPC:
Playback/Output/Audio renderer/System default
Internal Filters/Audio renderer/Device/System default
Internal Filters/Disable all of them in all 3 filter tabs because you are using external filters.... LAV Filters.
Default anything else you changed related to audio.
In LAVFilters:
LAV Audio filter/Bitstreaming/check all the formats that your AVR handles just like you did in KODI for its videoplayer.
Default anything else you changed.
Make sure your AVR is set to automatically switch formats based on the source you give it. Commonly, the only one I know of that fails in most receivers is AAC which the AVR's usually switch to 'stereo' instead of DD surround. I have recently started converting a few AAC rips to AC3 using code fed through FFmpeg via CMD which brings the surround out in them and only takes a couple minutes to process. Very simple. Other than this single format, all others are perfect. None of this has anything to do with using this method. It's present in any method fwiw.
