Dolby Atmos (Sonos Arc) Not Working - Samsung 82” QLED Q70R


I have an 11 month old, Samsung 82” QLED Q70R. I recently purchased the new Sonos Arc and I can not get Dolby Atmos to work. 
 

TV Setup - I have the Arc connected to the TV via the HDMI 4 (ARC) using the HDMI cable Sonos provided with the speaker. (It’s not and eARC port, but according to Samsungs website it supports Dolby Digital+ and Atmos. In the TV’s “expert” sound settings, I have the Dolby Atomos Compatibility box checked, and when I connected the Sonos Arc it said “Atmos enabled device detected.” Yet when I go to the Digital Output Audio For… setting, it only allows me to select Dolby Digital. 
 

I am currently using an Xbox 1s and Apple TV 4K for streaming, Netflix, HBOMAX, HULU, Disney+, etc. When I go to the XBOX settings, I have HDMI Audio set to Bitsream Out. However, when I go to the Bitstream format setting, whenever I select Dolby Atmos for home theater or DTS:X for home theater, I get a message that says: “Your receiver doesn’t support Dolby Atmos for home theater”

 

Sonos products used- I have a Sonos Arc, Sonos Sub (gen1), and 2- Play3’s used as my rear surrounds. I have never had any issues getting my Sonos products to work. What Am I Missing???

Regarding the Apple TV 4K, this is from Apple’s website:

“Apple TV 4K uses a high bandwidth form of Dolby Atmos that doesn’t work over ARC connections.”

Not sure about the Xbox.

Can you currently get Dolby Atmos from your TV’s native Netflix app?

Wow! It works on the Native App!!! I just turned on David Attenborough - A Life On Our Planet and it now says “Dolby Atmos” in the Sonos App!!!
