How to know if steam is playing in Dolby Atmos

I’m totally confused! I have an Apple 4K, Roku Ultra, Fire Stick 4K, and Android TV in a Sony XBR-55X900E. So I bring up Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime using the Android TV and there is no Dolby Atmos logo showing in the movie description. Now, I go to Apple TV bring up the same movie and it shows the Dolby Atmos logo. Now, how do I know if it’s playing in Dolby Atmos. I check the S2 app on my iPhone and there is nothing showing me any audio output sound except I have enhanced speech turned on. And the night sound logo.

To know exactly what audio the Arc is receiving, go to System > About My System, and scroll down to the Sonos Arc information and see what it says after “Audio In:”

Also, if you are receiving Dolby Atmos audio, you will see the Dolby Atmos logo below the word “TV” and above the Night Sound icon.

Thanks works perfect. Of all my streaming devices Android TV is the only one that’ll play Dolby Atmos. 

Have a great day and be kind
