Sonos Arc and TCL Series 8 65Q825

I have the new Sonos Arc connected to my ROkuTCL 8 Series 8 65Q825. The Roku audio options are auto detect, auto passthrough, and Dolby Digital plus - DTS. I have the Dolby Atmos activation notification on.

Requesting assistance on correct setting to obtain Dolby Atmos.

Thank you in advance.

    Following this as well, I have the 6 series TCL.  I have it set to pass through, assuming that would be the best choice for the ARC.   I have yet to see the Atmos logo on the TV, but the Sonos app has confirmed it plays in ATMOS  when the source is in that format.

      Following, have the Arc & the 65" 8 series on order.

      There's been talk that a firmware update will bring eARC to the 8 series, but another rumor says only the 75".

      I believe you will only see the Dolby Atmos notification on the Sonos app, not on the TV

        Hi, i have the tcl 75 615R playing the netflix, prime and disney doesn’t give me any atmos on the TV or in the sonos arc app., are you streaming it through the tv or through apple tv 4k?

        I believe the 615R only supports Dolby digital plus, so if you wanted Atmos you would need to go from the Atmos source directly into the ARC.  Using the apps on the TV directly will only give you DD plus  
         

        The Apple TV does support Atmos, but doesn’t have an HDMI ARC output, so you are going to need to get another source that has that, and supports Atmos.  I’ve heard great things about the Nvidia shield, but I’m not sure if that has an HDMI ARC.

            Great, good to know that the r625 can do Atmos without a sweat , unfortunately in my region they still pushing the r615 as 2019/20 models and believe me it's driving us r615 owners nuts 😡! Anyway thanks for the reply and enjoy that panel in good health 😊👍
