Liable to be the settings on the Apple TV for output. If it is working from one device, then the Sonos is working properly. You just need to check the output and TV settings for the other device.

Thank you for the reply, I will try to place my tv on the same HDMI port as google chrome if it work but i did tried before on the Apple TV and only show me 5.1 no other options

It’s not likely to be the HDMI port that you’re connecting to, but the audio settings in the Apple TV.

I just did try the audio settings on Apple TV and nothing happened only give me options stereo or 5.1 and also play tidal and said not support for atmos ,

I put the google Chrome back and is perfect play atmos, so I don’t get it but never mind just leave it like it is.

What model Apple TV are you using? Under the Apple TV’s Audio Format settings, do you have Change Format turned off and Immersive Audio turned on?

What model is your TV? Is it equipped with HDMI eARC? eARC is required to get Atmos audio from the Apple TV 4K.

Not is only Arc, but why Google chrome does the job?

The Apple TV 4K uses a high bandwidth form of Dolby Atmos that requires an eARC connection. The Chromecast doesn’t.
