Optical audio connections support Dolby Digital 5.1, which is an Audio Format setting that can be selected on Apple TV.

How to get Dolby Atmos Sound on Apple TV + Sonos soundbar + video projector Xiaomi mijia ALPD3? Is it possible to play Dolby Atmos sound using the Apple TV 4K, Sonos ARC soundbar and the Vídeo projector Xiaomi mijia ALPD3.0(2019)? The projector has HDMI ARC (not eARC) and Ethernet port. I found that HDMI ARC won't work but could I connect Apple TV to Sonos and have input video signal on the Projector using the ethernet port of Apple TV and the video projector on the same network?

Sound output format problem Apple TV Hello, I have my Apple TV output sound via LG TV to Sonos Arc. When I play a movie with Atmos the Arc correctly gets an Atmos signal and confirms this (Atmos available set on ATV). Any other sound format, e.g. Dolby Digital Plus the ATV output Multichannel PCM 7.1 and the sound is not great. However, when I play Dolby Digital Plus movies on App from Disney+/Amazon Prime/Netflix directly on LG TV, then the format output is ALWAYS correctly transferred to the Sonos Arc and confirmed and the sound is always better. Of course, I can force the ATV to output only Dolby Digital 5.1, but then instead I lose the Atmos output. All formats get correcly transffered directly from LG TV (any App) to Arc. Is there any solution or can I only use Apple TV for Atmos content or content from Apple TV+ App? Sincerely, Claes
