What will be the best audio setting to use hulu and amazon prime video apps on apple tv. Netflix and apple+ works fine with dolby atmos ON but do i need to change Format to Dolby Digital 5.1 for hulu and amazon primeV.
System: Sonos Arc+ 2sub gen(3)+ era 300s as surround. Tv: LgC1

plus what will be the best EQ setting for clear surround sound little bit heavy on sub.

current EQ: 

Bass : -1

Treble : +4

Loudness : on

Trueplay : on

Sub : +1

Surround : 0

Height : +4

volume limit : off

Speech Enhancement : on

night sound : off

For the best quality audio, keep the Change Format setting set to OFF on the Apple TV. With this setting, all 5.1 audio will play as Multichannel PCM and you will also be able to play Dolby Atmos audio.

But some users prefer the way standard Dolby Digital sounds compared to Multichannel PCM as Dolby Digital is louder and has less dynamic range than Multichannel PCM. So pick the setting that sounds best to you.

HDMI Input Audio Format: Bitstream
