The side surround and back surround channels are reversed. This was the case with my 1st gen FireTV stick also, so apparently it's common to all FireTVs. This makes 7.1 useless, so the channel config should be set to 5.1.
A new quirk with the 4K stick is forced transcoding to DD+. This can be disabled by selecting "stereo" in the FireTV audio settings. However, this also disables DD/DTS passthrough. Still it's probably the best option to select.
