DOLBY SURROUND 5.1 SURROUND SOUND FIX FALLOUT 4 MAC
I did this on my Mac mini, which I use as a media center computer. What solution there is, we can thank the author of AC3Jack (Jesse Chappell), and the authors of Jack OS X (Stephane Letz, Johnny Petrantoni and Dan Nigrin). If you're looking for a quick fix, you're not going to find it here at the moment there is no easy solution. This is going to be pretty heavy going, and it gets quite technical.
DOLBY SURROUND 5.1 SURROUND SOUND FIX FALLOUT 4 MANUAL
It works perfectly on my Mac mini, and the only downside is the manual configuration that needs to be performed. I wish you the best of luck getting this to work on an Apple TV, though. Well, after a decent amount of research and tweaking, there is a solution to this problem. If you're lucky, it'll be Dolby ProLogic if you're not, it will be plain old 2.0 stereo.

If you're watching media that uses, for example, an AAC-encoded multi-channel soundtrack (most of the Apple HD trailers are like this) then it will be like the Apple TV situation above - your Mac can't send the AAC stream out the audio port, as it's only a two-channel device, so QuickTime player (or VLC or.) mixes it down to stereo and outputs this. You will have real surround sound from this setup. AC3 is the codec that Dolby Digital uses, so if you've already got a Dolby Digital soundtrack, and your optical port is configured properly (as a digital passthrough), then you may get the AC3 stream output through the optical port, and your surround receiver decodes it. Under a certain set of circumstances, your Mac can output a surround stream from the optical output that a surround receiver can decode as proper surround - this is if the media file you're using already contains an AC3 encoded soundtrack. Either way, you're hearing Dolby ProLogic, not Dolby Digital. Your surround receiver probably can't decode AAC, and at any rate, the Apple TV won't send it as AAC, it decodes it, mixes it back up as a stereo soundtrack (using Dolby ProLogic) and outputs that. Other times, and more often on the HD content, it is actually a real 5.1 surround soundtrack, but it's in AAC format. This isn't "true" surround sound, it's surround information matrix-encoded into a regular two-channel audio stream, and done extremely cleverly. It sometimes uses a stereo soundtrack that uses Dolby ProLogic to do surround sound. Apple supply media to the Apple TV with one of two different options for the soundtrack. Well, the truth lies somewhere in between these two extremes. "But Wait!" you say, "Yes it can, Apple even advertise surround sound as a feature of the Apple TV!" or "I can play a DVD and I'm hearing surround sound." Your Mac can not do real surround sound from its built-in optical audio port in fact, not even your Apple TV can. I have also modified the title of the hint to more accurately reflect what it's about.] Just take the intro to the hint with a grain of salt, as it's not the whole truth. I've chosen to leave the hint online, as the hint (and moreso, the comments) contain a wealth of useful information.

However, what the author then goes on to describe explains how to convert certain AAC-surround-encoded files to AC3 mode for true surround playback.

As noted in the comments by the hint's author, the introduction is misleading - your Mac can do real surround sound, assuming the source has an AC3 soundtrack. Pretty much like you would set your graphic settings in your AMD or Nvidia control panel and not use Windows' own settings.[ robg says: The following hint is presented as it was submitted.
DOLBY SURROUND 5.1 SURROUND SOUND FIX FALLOUT 4 DRIVER
I actually never bothered about configuring my audio device in Windows, because I was always under the impression that you should do such things in the driver specific to your device. All I got was Stereo, which also was extremely quiet. In my case, I'm using a brand new Asus Xonar DSX card with DTS Connect, and even though I configured DTS Connect in the ASUS Xonar Driver, and 5.1 audio was working great in Battlefield 3, I couldn't get i to work in The Witcher 3. The precise technologies, your chip would have to support in order to make things possible, are Dolby Digital Live or DTS Connect (with the latter having a slight edge in terms of quality because of a higher bandwidth). So what audio chip exactly are you using? Because, SPDIF technically can only transmit two channel audio, however by realtime encoding the mutlichannel audio into a compressed DTS or Dolby Stream 5.1 is still possible. Also, I think you mentioned you never really got 5.1 audio working via SPDIF. So to everyone still facing this issue, for example I'd really like to stress, that configuring the 5.1 speakers is just as important as applying the fixed directx audio files, if not even more important.
