I solved a similar issue by using a Fury Vertex HD2

It's taken quite some effort, the purchase of a 2nd hand Logitech Harmony Elite remote control as well, plus the setup of that, but now I've got 3 - 4 sources feeding the Vertex, and that feeds an old plasma and the HD621, which feeds a G68 etc

I can switch between scenarios that I've set up like Netflix TV and that switches on the Firestick and navigates to netflix, and outputs 2 channel sound to the TV only, or Movie Bluray which turns on the relevant kit, opens the Bluray disk drawer and switches the Vertex to multichannel sound. I've still got some work to do as the Firestick won't switch into the right audio mode for movies but that just needs a change to the script that the Logitech runs (I do it manually now)

The vertex is v flexible - like a small computer really but if you are needing to switch between 2 channel and multi channel depending on whether you are watching TV or movies, from multiple sources (Prime, Netflix, Bluray player) then I ended up with the solution above

let me know if you'd like to know more

My next step is to replace the plasma and the G68 when funds permit and things should get simpler with the latest HDMI and 4k processing so I can probably ditch the Vertex
