Hello my lovely community.I want to close the topic for compability of Atmos codecs, specifically for TrueHD, as there are still a lot of questions going on about it.As owner of Sonos system (arc, 2x sub, 2x era 300) and pairing it with LG C3, Vero 4k+, AppleTV 4K and PS5. However LG C3 can’t passthrough TrueHD and I can’t watch my legal BR rips using Vero4k+ and Apple TV 4K. So here are the options what might be done:While using TrueHD content, accept downmix from 7.1 to 5.1 by Sonos (Multichannel PCM). Pros: getting atmos effects, the cheapest option. Cons: lower bitrate for atmos. Look for an alternative streaming services for an atmos content such as Netflix or smiliar. Pros: you will get an an atmos effect via DD+, still cheaper option. Cons: not the highest bitrate though. Buy HD Fury Arcana. Pros: getting the TrueHD with highest bitrate using any sources. Cons: you need always to replug the cables if you a have more than 2 devices, costly option. Buy a new fancy AV reciever such as Marantz CINEMA 70s. Pros: getting the TrueHD with highest bitrate from any sources, getting VRR and ALLM for gaming consoles, no need to switch the cables. Cons: very costly option. Buy a new Nakamichi DRAGON 11.4.6 Home Surround Sound System. Pros: no headaches anymore with codecs and switch the cables, more channles, more power. Cons: THE MOST costly option. Prove me folks, if I am worng. Thanks.

The LG C3 supports Dolby TrueHD pass through. I play Dolby TrueHD audio and Dolby Atmos audio (via Dolby TrueHD) all of the time from Blu-ray discs on my LG C3 and Sonos Arc setup.

Your problem is you are streaming through your Apple TV which doesn't support Dolby TrueHD. I know the Nvidia Shield and Amazon Fire TV Cube supports TrueHD, but I’m not sure if they support it through Vero4k+
