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.

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. 

Lmao

    Hei again!

    i have just received the amazon 4k uhd (not the max but it is also dolby atmos enabled)….however there is no choice for atmos in its settings and the best i got in sonos app was the Dolby Digital Plus 5.1… do i do something wrong? Why there is no atmos option on the firestick? Please shed some light

    at a guess your tv will not passthrough atmos to the soundbar however 5.1 Dolby plus is a good substitute for it at least better than standard 5.1

    Can i solve this? On amazon page says that the firestick should be conected on the soundbar directly and then another hdmi should conect it to the arc of the tv….but sonos has only one hdmi….can it be done?

      Unfortunately your TV seems not to be able to handle Atmos at all. So any device that could deliver atmos in general gets the information from your tv via cec that Atmos isn’t supported. 
      Just a new tv or an hdmi audioextractor with a hdmi eARC input for cennection to Sonos Arc would help.
