In movies the surround sound hardly noticable.
There is no ‘surround testings’ on YT - you only get sound in 2 channel/stereo on YT.
How are your Speaker Group/s for multichannel/surround set up?

There is a tv - and there is a BV
I know it sounds weird, but did you check the bass management? I know that on my Horizon, which has the same software, the bass management values were constantly messed ups randomly in one of the previous software versions. Although the software still is far from stable, this issue was solved. This had a major impact on the surround experience.
Another possibility (although I reckon you checked this one): are all of the sources settings correctly made?

Soo.. this explains a lot :-) Youtube does support uploading in surround but decodes in normal stereo.
It's the TrueImage process that converts the 2.0 stereo to 5.1
In the mean time I've had my friend Google come around and found this testpage:

When downloading and playing the samples all is OK :-)

Base management is OK :-) I've had lengthy converations with B&O Support and Geoff about the misbehaviour af the bass management... but that has been solved for 3y now :-)

Fine - enjoy your new sound experiece - adding surround channels is a must IMO.
There are actually Youtube videos that contains a surround track (AAC 5.1), but they are extremely rare.

My BV14 (through an AppleTV 4K) still displays (all) Youtube audio info as "Input: 2.0" so it received normal stereo though the apple TV.
send me a mail, then I will reply a link to a 5.1 music file (wav or flac).
Of course only for testing purpose use.
This is a good service for test clips.

Assuming that kuyttendaele has access to a video streaming service, he’ll have lots of opportunity to test multichannel.
(Be sure to use a file that matches the layout of the setup...5.1 etc - or turn off the TrueImage processing in the settings for the used Speaker Group).
Thanks all for the links!
Will need some time to listen to them and also go through my live concert DVDs..
