Generally the best idea is to setup a zone for WDM playback that does no processing, including no resampling, because its the only way to get close to zero latency. If you need a specific sampling rate, you can set it in the Windows WDM settings.

I just checked and I have no DSP setup. For now, I will setup a zone for WDM playback.

I think it is important to mention the audio setup you use.
I'm not 100% sure but from what I know 4K, DoVi (or HDR) and 5.1 DD+ does only work when using HDMI with correct EDID and bitstreaming audio through it (because of DRM).
E.g. if you use an audio interface for audio routing there is not any chance to get 5.1 DD+.
When it comes to WDM I use a virtual audio driver to get low latency and high-quality resampling. By using the virtual WDM I can route audio through a VST Host as DSP and the VST Host does route audio via ASIO to the audio interface.
With this setup I get about 10-20ms latency (depending on the filters, mainly Dirac for me) which is adequate for Streaming. But as mentioned before this does only work in Stereo for Netflix and most probably for all other main Streaming platforms, too.
As I don't use the JRiver WDM I cannot judge about that, but it should work in similar fashion.

I can get 5.1 through JRiver WDM. Obviously its only decoded audio since we can't bistream through it, but it works - at least for the integrated Netflix, for which we have some compatibility improvements.
When connected to my AVR, Netflix in MC will bitstream DD+, including Atmos. Its pretty cool.

HOW? :o
My WDM is configured as 7.1 but I only get 5.1 with the official Netflix App. Within Edge or JRiver I don't get any option to switch to 5.1.

I'm bypassing JRiver's audio engine and I get DD5.1 sound with Netflix in MC Theater mode. Same set-up I use to get DD5.1 bitstreaming for my TV Capture cards and Video playback in general... I don't know how that works for Netflix in MC but it does!!
Which is indeed a mystery as no browsers including edge allow me to get 5.1 DD bitstreaming to my receiver directly. Only Netflix in MC Theatre view and the W10 Netflix app.
