[Google Pixel XL Themes, Apps, and Mods] xmoox:
So after going through a couple things it does seem like it's working. At least according to the log cat it's enabling two channels. The reason I think it's not working is in the past I've been able to view the videos in vlc and it would give me a audio info explicitly saying that it's two channels. Currently it just shows an increased bit rate which to me means the changes have been applied.

Thanks for the help.

Here is the log cat
