Hello,

 I have my 5.1 setup as follows, ARC via HDMI to EARC output on TV using passthrough in TV settings & 1 Gen 2 sub and 2 Play’s one’s in my system.   Am I getting full Atmos using the Play 1’s since they are so old or should I get the newer One’s or One SL’s?

@stevies3 You will still get full Dolby Atmos audio even when using the older Play:1s as surrounds. I use a pair of Play:1s as surrounds with my Arc and Dolby Atmos audio sounds great. And if you compare the audio quality of the Play:1s with the Ones or One SLs, they are pretty much identical.

Changing Sonos speakers would make zero difference. If you’re not getting Atmos, it would be an issue with the source.

Note, there’s actually very little Atmos content out there to get.
