sonos beam gen 2 plays only dolby digital 5.1

Hei! I have a sonos beam gen 2 connected to a Philips 50PUS616/12 through Hdmi Arc. I have an apple tv conected to other hdmi and despitethe fact that most shows have dolby atmos, i never experienced it since the sonos app says that it is streamed in dolby digital 5.1

any hints? Can i ever see dolby atmos on the app?

There is the HD Fury Arcana, the Feintech VAX04101k, and the OREI HDA-935. You can also order from those links from the companies directly, or check your local retailers for availability. Amazon may carry some, depending on location. At this point, there may be more manufacturers, I haven’t been keeping track.

If your ATV is a NON 4k and very old gen3 with optical out it doesn’t support Atmos at all.

Just belonging to my curiosity… does your ATV show the Atmos on/off option in audio settings with your setup?

@skullc 

Seems someone is much interested in your tv… 😉 maybe you can make some quick money and sell it for double of the price you paid 5 years ago. 😂

Sorry @kalex … just kidding.
