Hi.

today I bought the beam 2.

i have lg tv with arc (not earc) which I connected the beam to.

also using the newest Apple TV 4K.

on Sonos website it says that atmos can work with arc with Dolby digital +.

but when I stream content which suppose to be atmos, it says on the Sonos app it’s Dolby digital 5.1.

if it’s dolby digital plus it should write that?

or it suppose to write atmos?

am I missing something?

thanks

Set the TV to these settings (if available):

HDMI Input Audio Format: Bitstream

Digital Sound Output: Auto

DTV Audio Settings: Dolby Digital Plus

 

If this doesn’t give you Atmos audio, then you either need to get a new TV with eARC or get a eARC adapter like an HDFury Arcana.

The Apple TV 4K usually requires a TV with eARC to play Dolby Atmos audio because it uses Dolby MAT rather than Dolby Digital Plus.

What specific model TV do you have?
