Hey guys
Just picked up at ATV 4K and I cannot figure out the settings for it to pass 5.1. I have it hooked up to a Samsung Q7F QLED tv. My Xbox one and PS4 are having no issues with 5.1. When I go into setting on the TV it will not let me select Dolby. I have tried different cables and inputs with no luck. I have Dolby 5.1 selected on ATVs audio output. Anyone have this problem or solutions?

Settings on Apple 4K TV for 5.1

On many TVs, and I’m not sure about yours specifically, you can’t select Dolby Digital unless it is being pushed a Dolby Digital signal, which I don’t think the menu screen does. Try playing a movie or trailer and see if the setting is selectable at that time on your TV.

+21Bruce is correct... Samsung won't give you the option to select Dolby Digital output unless the TV is receiving a DD signal. Watching a movie through Netflix or Amazon on the Apple TV should be in Dolby Digital. Some trailers might only have stereo audio, and that could still be PCM.
