Why no audio from Netflix?

I use a Panasonic TC-P50GT50 plasma tv and have a toslink cable running from the audio out port to my DAC which then is connected to my two channel system. I get great audio when playing Youtube but no audio when playing Netflix. Anyone know why? Is the Netflix audio stream incompatible somehow with my DAC? The DAC is a Simaudio Moon 300D.

Make sure Netflix has all of the same codecs installed. If you're asked about non free formats or codecs, say yes. You want them.

Aha, problem solved! It seems there is a typical issue with Netflix audio on external devices. I read a thread where Panasonic owners were told to contact Netflix to solve the problem and vice versa without resolution. Interestingly this is not just a Panasonic issue. To solve the problem I simply activated the Netflix function on my Oppo 103D and the audio plays just fine through that device.
