Problem with Dolby Atmos and LGOLED55C14LB tv

I have connected my Sonos Beam gen 2 to my LG tv via the HDMI eArc input, However even though the broadcasts from Apple TV are carry the Dolby Atmos signal my sound bar is only playing them in stereo. When I unplug the sound bar the TV will play the sound in Dolby Atmos. When I reconnect the sound bar the sound is only in stereo. The tv is an LGOLED55C14LB

On the LG TV press and hold the configuration button. On the sound menu make sure following is set:

 

Sound out: HDMI ARC

 

Additional settings:

 

DTV Audio Setting: Auto

HDMI input audio format: Bitstream

Digital sound out: pass through

eARC: Enabled

 

Try those and see if it fixes it.

Answering my own question but might help others, turned out to be a Sky Q box issue. Used apps on TV instead of through Sky and now get Dolby Vision and Atmos. 

 

Sky Q box doesn't support Dolby Atmos on any of the apps, it only works for their own content. Box doesn't do Dolby Vision either, just HDR.
