I am streaming both Netflix and Disney+ via the android app available with the Sony TV and output the audio via the Arc. The system recognise Dolby Atmos contents from Netflix and working fine but not with Disney+ where it is only output as 5.1

What is the issue? How can I setup or make Disney+ stream atmos as well. Btw I’m in Australia.

Thanks.

@ericwanch Which android TV version do you have on your TV. I have a Sony X930E and the netflix app on my TV doesnt output atmos. It Only outputs Dolby Digital Plus.

I have 2 Sony Android TV (Australian specs).

2019 KD75X8000G - running Android TV 8.0 with Netflix 7.3.2 build 3539 connected to the Sonos Arc + Sub Gen 3 + 2x One SL.
2016 KD49X7000D - also running Android TV 8.0 with Netflix 7.3.2 build 3539 connected to the Sonos Beam.

Only the 2019 X8000G passthrough Dolby Atmos as lossy DD+ via HDMI ARC.

I did try connecting the Arc to the 2016 X7000D but output as DD+ only. So the older 2016 TV does not passthrough Atmos.

If you have a look at the below link, there is a list showing different TVs with all the passthrough capability but limited back to last 2 years only. My 2019 TV is confirmed to be able to passthorugh Dolby Atmos via HDMI ARC as DD+.

Cheers!

I have the Sony X930E which supports Dolby atmos over Dolby digital plus. I get Atmos from Prime Video app but not from Netflix. I checked the build and I have the same Netflix build and Android TV 8.0. Not sure what could be causing that.
