    I would set the LG TV settings to use ‘eARC’ and ‘Pass-Through’ …then on any devices you connect to the TV, set their audio-out to ‘Auto’, or if that doesn’t work for any reason, manually select Dolby Atmos/Dolby Digital+/Dolby Digital 5.1 etc. on the connected device.

    Pass Through is usually the best setting. But if this doesn’t give you the desired result, try Auto.
