You can disable upmixing in mythmusic separately from the main
upmixing settings.

Try putting it back to default.

The way mythmusic code works, is that if it sees "default" as the
device name; it simply replace it with the audio device found in the
main setting.
here is the code:
    if (gCoreContext->GetSetting("MusicAudioDevice") == "default")
        adevice = gCoreContext->GetSetting("AudioOutputDevice");

So setting the audio device name to be both the same will make *no*
difference ; because effectively it's exactly the same thing.

same as above.
"default" means "use the same name as in the main setting"
