Dolby Atmos on Arc via an Samsung TV from 2016

I have a UE60KS7005UXXE Samsung TV from 2016 and have just bought a Sonos Arc and plugged it into the HDMI Arc. I can only get it to play 5.1 not Atmos. 
 

Is it possible to get it to play atmos from my streaming services?

My TV is in Danish so screenshot wont help :-)

i do have Netflix premium but dont look up just shows as 5.1 inside the Netflix app. Does that mean my tv is too Old? Is there a workaround? Ie chromecast?

When testing Dolby Atmos content, be sure to play the original language audio track.

Your TV is probably too old. Your options are either to upgrade your TV (preferably to a TV with eARC) or get a device like the HDFury Arcana that will allow any external media device to bypass your TV’s limitations and send audio directly to the Arc. This will have no affect on your TV’s native apps though so you will have to get a media streaming device. I recommend the Roku Ultra. A Chromecast would work with the Arcana too but just be sure to use a model that supports Dolby Atmos from all the major streaming apps.

I think it is VERY unlikely that a TV from 2016 supports Dolby Atmos. And if it doesn't do DD Plus that settles it.

Your choices are to buy a Dolby Atmos compatible TV or ro get an HDFury Arcana device. This  in effect adds eArc and Dolby Atmos to a TV. I use it with my non-Atmos LG TV from 2016.
