PAYG Installment - Pre-Filled is Large Amount

Hey doing my BAS and trying to understand why the pre-filled PAYGI figure is so large. My accountant is on leave so not available for the next week

Situation:
- Work 2 jobs:
- Full time employed with tax withheld = $100k before tax
- self employed = ~$45k before tax
- total tax FY24/25 = $36k ($25k withheld + $11k bill at tax time)
- minimal PAYGI FY24/25
- haven't done tax return for FY25/26 yet
- total PAYGI throughout FY25/26 to date = $4.3k
- The ATO's pre-filled PAYGI for April-June BAS is $11k

Can anyone explain why the last PAYGI of last FY is so large? I figure the PAYGIs should be something like $11k/4

I understand I can adjust PAYGI, and I will - just trying to understand the why

Force 2.1 Audio (5.1 down-mixing not working)

Hey is there a way to force 2.1 audio stream?

I have watched a few VOD movies with 5.1 sound (according to setting in Tivimate), and it really seems like it is a 5.1 signal coming through on my 2.1 system with some channels missing, like the down-mixing is not working or something. I get prominent voice audio, and quiet (not completely muted) sound effects and music

NVIDIA Shield > HDMI > Samsung TV > Optical > 2.1 LG Soundbar

I have tried:

Tivimate settings:
- switching between hardware and software audio encoding
- with and without passthrough

Shield Settings:
- Surround sound available formats = auto and none

Still unable to get balanced audio through my 2.1 soundbar. Anyone know of a fix?

Thanks for any help!
