It doesn’t show it on the Now Playing screen and never has.  For the Arc it shows if Dolby Atmos is being used.  There is some format info in About My System.

Third party apps (eg mine) do show this info on the Now Playing screen. It is actually more work to NOT show the non-Atmos formats than to show all of them, never understood why the official apps bury it in the About page.
