dolby atmos for arc

If you are playing Dolby Atmos music or a movie on a device that supports Dolby Atmos, and your TV can pass through Dolby Atmos, you will hear Dolby Atmos audio from all of your speakers.

Ok so I wouldn’t need to upgrade the sub to gen 3? Or the ones to one so’s?

how do u know if the arc is playing Dolby atmos?

my LG tv is only 2 years old and says it has Dolby atmos

No, you do not need to upgrade the Sub or Ones.

What model LG do you have?

The Dolby Atmos logo will appear on the Now Playing screen in the Sonos app when you are playing Atmos audio:

Ah ok

im not sure the model till I get home

it is oled though 

I play my music though Apple Music 

does the beam support all this? I have it upstairs 

Also by not upgrading the ones or sub they would still play in Dolby atmos?

No, the Beam does not support Dolby Atmos audio. The Beam only supports up to Dolby Digital 5.1 audio.

You do not need to upgrade the Sub and Ones to get Dolby Atmos audio. It will play out of every speaker in your 5.1.2 Arc/Sub/Ones setup as long as you meet the criteria in my original post.

Currently, the only way to listen to Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos music from Apple Music on the Arc is through the Apple Music app on an Apple TV 4K connected to a TV equipped with HDMI eARC or an HDFury eARC adapter.

5.1.2?

I only play music through the Apple Music app

Read this article to learn about what 5.1.2 stands for:

I was just pointing out that you need an Apple TV 4K and a TV equipped with HDMI eARC to get Dolby Atmos music from Apple Music to play out of the Arc.

Ah ok so sending over from the Apple Music app doesn’t work?

The music won’t play in Dolby Atmos if you are streaming it from your phone, computer, or from the Sonos app.
