No Dolby Atmos from Sony UBP x700 Blu Ray player

I have no problem getting Dolby Atmos from My fire stick Max connected directly to a EDID switch (4 in 2 out). I have set the Blu Ray player to output Dolby Atmos and the Blu ray Player display/audio menu confirms true HD/ Dolby Atmos tracks are playing but I can get no better than A Dolby Digital 5.1 audio on SONOS Arc. The Blu Ray player is plugged in directly beside the fire stick Max on my EDID switch and is connected with a 48GB HDMI cable. Does any one know where my bottleneck may be?

If the "Avatar: The way of the water" has Dolby Digital True HD (Atmos) track as @GuitarSuperstar mentions, then personally speaking, I would just go with that codec.

Correction: The 4K UHD disc of Avatar includes a Dolby Atmos audio track, BUT the standard Blu-ray only includes a DTS-HD Master Audio track. If you have the standard Blu-ray, set the Digital Audio Output setting on the Blu-ray player to PCM to get Multichannel PCM audio.

Both the 4K UHD and standard Blu-ray of Blade Runner 2049 include the Dolby Atmos audio track.
