I never was successful in getting 5.1 from Amazon Prime (as opposed to Amazon Instant Video) on any of my boxes (Netflix has been no problem whatsoever) and Amazon are very coy about telling people if they'll get 5.1 from Prime.
Had an Android M8 box which was great - sold that to a mate to replace it with the Fire, now I'm going to have to buy another M8.
Be careful out there!

5.1 works fine for me although i use Netflix not prime i don't think prime has ever had 5.1?
Which if this is the case what Amazon could do is include Netflix results in the searches i think this would be a big step in Amazons favour.
I have a Android MX box it has it's hissy fits but like you said they do work like a dream.
