Is Prime video mislabeling some videos as Dolby Atmos?

So I have Prime Video on my Firestick 4K, Roku Ultra - not the 2020 version, Chromecast built into my Sony Bravia. Jack Ryan always comes across as Dolby Atmos, on Fire Stick and Chromecast but other movies labeled Dolby Atmos don’t play in Atmos just Dolby Digital 5.1. Just wondering if it’s my system or is it just a fluke?

How are you determining that content is in Atmos?  Amazon has an icon they show on some of their content descriptions then many people think means the content is in Atmos, but it actually means something else.  I don’t recall what it means.    Sorry, I realize that’s vague, but the answer is essentially no, the content is labeled correctly.

There isn’t much in Atmos on Prime.  Do you want to suggest a couple of things that you think claim to be in Atmos but actually aren’t?


@toyboy FYI... The AD logo that you see on Prime Video stands for “Audio Description” not Dolby Atmos.

Yep, that’s what I was thinking of but couldn’t remember what it said exactly.
