Hello,

I recently set up my Sonos Arc, but I can’t get Atmos through my Xbox One S. Here’s my set up…

Samsung 55” Class 4K Ultra HD

Xbox One S

Sonos Arc (connected to the TV via arc HDMI)

 

Any help would be appreciated.

What are your Xbox audio settings? Also which specific Samsung TV? And how are you testing your Atmos stream?

The TV is a 55 inch Samsung Class NU7100 Smart 4K UHD TV

I have the Xbox running into the TV via HDMI.

The Arc running to the TV via HDMI Arc

When I attempt to select Dolby Atmos for the Xbox under the sound settings, it tells me that my receiver can not do Atmos.

Hope that gives you the info you’re looking for. And thanks for helping me with this :)

Xbox audio should be set to bitstream

TV ARC port is HDMI 3

Your TV cannot do Atmos over Arc according to https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/samsung/nu7100

Dolby Digital 5.1 is as good as your TV can pass over ARC.

Time to ask Santa for a new TV?
