Sonos ARC with Apple TV 4K gen3 and LG OLED evo C4

If you activate the eARC option on LG OLED evo C4 (2024 model) the native DD+ 5.1 audio is sent from the Apple TV 4K gen3 streaming Apps to the Sonos ARC soundbar in Multichannel PCM 5.1 format with loss or little presence of surround effects and poorly reproduced central voice, while if you deactivate the eARC option on the TV (therefore keeping the less performing ARC transmission) the audio reproduced by Sonos ARC is the native DD+ 5.1 with the surround and central voice effects present and well reproduced...using the smart TV apps downloaded from the LG store the audio in eARC passes to the Sonos ARC soundbar correctly and is faithfully reproduced in DD+ 5.1...is there anything that can be done to avoid disabling eARC, which results in the failure to play Dolby Atmos streams ???...

Hi, I’m using MAX in USA, and the 3 movies I’ve tried both on the LG’s native app and the appleTV all say they are Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Still the best audio getting according to the Sonos app is Dolby Digital + 5.1, no Atmos

Do you have the Max Premium plan? Is it part of a bundled package?

Is it part of a bundled plan with Disney+ and Hulu?

…no, no Max Premium in Italy...in USA you can try Apple TV+ (you can take advantage of the free trial week) usually what they indicate corresponds to the actual audio flow conveyed...on Apple TV+ many films and TV series are broadcast in Dolby Atmos...

What are you talking about? @Eddienyc1 is using Max in the USA, not Italy.

...I'm simply saying that if you want to test audio streams in Dolby Atmos you can try the Apple TV+ streaming service which is certainly also present in the USA...many contents are broadcast in Dolby Atmos...
