According to my research, the LG B8 should be able to pass through Dolby Atmos audio.

TV Settings:

  1. Be sure you have the latest firmware installed.
  2. Be sure Simplink (CEC) is enabled.
  3. Run TV Setup in the Sonos app and connect the Arc to the TV’s HDMI ARC port.
  4. Under Sound, set “Dolby Atmos” to On.
  5. Under Sound Out, Audio Out should be set to “HDMI ARC”.
  6. Under Audio Out, Digital Sound Out should be set to “Auto” (or “Pass Through” if available) and Simplink should be “On”.

For some reason Dolby atmos is greyed out

Do you have the latest firmware installed?

Is Simplink turned on?

Does the Dolby Atmos option change when watching a Dolby Atmos source like a movie on Netflix?

FYI… you need a premium Netflix subscription to get Dolby Atmos audio.

that dolby atmos switch is only enabled when using internal speakers, other settings appear to be fine, you should see the atmos logo in the sonos app when playing content with atmos soundtrack from internal apps like Netflix or Disney+. But keep in mind that for having atmos from Netflix you need the UHD plan

yes, but I needed to turn up the volume of the height channel in the sonos app, I have it at +3 now. In some scenes there was sounds clearly coming from the ceiling, also the overall sound seems to be more immersive

Does anyone know if Sonos is planning to release a new version of the Sonos Beam with Dolby Atmos support?

It’s probably unlikely since the current Beam is still extremely popular and they already offer a Dolby Atmos soundbar with the Sonos Arc.
