Currently the only way to get Apple Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos music to play out of the Sonos Arc is through the Apple Music app on an Apple TV 4K connected to a TV with HDMI eARC or the HDFury Arcana.

No, if you AirPlay Dolby Atmos music to the Sonos Arc, it will not play as Dolby Atmos.

As far as I know, the Apple Music app on Samsung TV’s doesn’t support Dolby Atmos audio.
