Apple TV No Center Channel sound.

I have a good Sony TV; Older and new 4K Apple TV. No center channel sound so I use my Mac Book Pro and the center channel is there. Same 7.1 Channel receiver, the same HDMI cable going to my TV, and a cable going to the receiver.

apple tv 4k and amazon prime sound problem - no surround sound on some programs Hi , I am having a problem with Amazon prime on a new Apple TV (only got it last this month) . The apple tv is using the most up to date software and I have re-installed the app. The issue is that when I watch some program (e.g. Wheel of time, Citadel) the sound on the Yamaha receiver (RX-V6A) change from Standard to Straight. I can hear that the quality of the sound is different as Straight is stereo and not surround sound. I don't have this problem with the the other apps (e.g.netflix, dinners, apple TV) just the Amazon app. Model A2737, tvOS 17.0, Video format 4k HDR (i am in australia), Audio format Auto, Atmos available Any suggestion to fix this issue?

Apple TV 4K auto sound setting not playing surround dd+ content My setup: I have the Apple TV 4K that I just bought, has the latest updates. I connect that to my Sony Bravia a80j which is then connected to my jbl 9.1 using eArc which supports Dolby atmos. Problem: If I set the Apple TV audio format to auto and enable Dolby atmos, all stereo and Dolby atmos audio plays perfectly. But when I pick a regular 5.1 audio format video from Netflix, Amazon prime or hbo max it sends the audio as pcm (which is fine) but then the speaker outputs are all messed up. Center channel output comes through left rear and left rear is missing etc. if I force the audio format on Apple TV to output 5.1 then everything works fine except I no longer get Dolby Atmos which sucks. I have other devices and the same videos play perfectly good surround sound using Dolby digital dd+ And my setup. Issue seems to be with Apple TV 4k am I missing something here?

surround sound rear speakers only I have my Apple TV 4K plugged into my 2023 Samsung 8k tv, and a Bose 900 smart sound bar into the earc port. When using the Apple TV app, I get Dolby atmos and it’s great. When using any 3rd party app (Disney/prime/Netflix) then it plays the main audio track out the rear speakers. I’ve reset Apple TV but no solution
