Samsung 2020 Model QE65

Sonos Arc

Ikea Symfonisk pair as surround

Netflix premium subscription

Precondition

Google TV atmos enable, Samsung TV sound passthrough

Sonos Arc delivering atmos but unable to experience the upward firing speakers most likely due to placement of soundbar. Test Clip: Wandering Earth 1:23:30 on Netflix(electric sparks from the ceiling). Max height sound setting.

Action

Moving around the soundbar to improve the experience of the height sounds.

Unwanted Behaviour

Neither Netflix nor the Sonos app any longer shows the atmos setting. DD+ received instead

I would also try unplugging your TV and Arc from power for a couple of minutes.

Already there, I lost the atmos just after physically moving the arc around. I will point that out in the question too, thanks :) 

Also performed a power reset :) 

Other than unplugging the TV and Arc from power for a couple of minutes, I would also double check your audio settings on your TV and Chromecast just to make sure nothing changed.

Weird. Was anything updated at all between 2 locations? Like firmware update applied? Possibly bandwidth related? Not seeing issue here but not running your exact setup. 

Tried with a different source as compared to the google TV and atmos is working. So effectively, Sonos Arc is ruled out as source of problem. Thread closed
