Sonos Arc: How to Play Dolby Atmos

Atmos on the Arc is overrated. Speakers are not in the ceiling and you are not hearing the right way. Really waste of money and time. Shame you have to look to see it. Because you can’t hear it

I have a Sonos arc but Dolby Atmos doesnt work on it. I have the Panasonic Viera TX-47AS650E wich has a HDMI-Arc port but it doesnt seem to work. Is my tv just too old or is something else going on? All the other things you said in this video are fine with my setup. Thanks and great video!

Have you experienced the Sonos arc pop with Apple TV 4K Dolby atmos and Dolby vision?

Can we stream Dolby atmos content(Apple music or Apple TV/Netflix or any other OTT) from iPhone 13 to soundbar which supports dolby atmos via Bluetooth?
Does the sound bar play Dolby content?

Thanks for your very informative review.
I'm curious to know though, whether a Sonos Beam Gen 2 can be connected to an Apple TV 4K in the same way that HomePods are connected - i.e. using AirPlay 2.
I have an older TV that does not allow Dolby Atmos to pass through from a HDMI input to my HDMI ARC port.
Therefore I need my Apple TV 4K to connect directly to my speakers using either AirPlay 2 or HDMI input (which the Sonos does not have).
I'd prefer to use Sonos if possible, so I can extend the system in the future by adding a sub and the new Era 300 rear Atmos speakers.
If this is possible, would latency be an issue? Or would it be just as good as using HomePods?

good morning sir. I have Bose 900 soundbar connect on sony tv( updated). watching Netflix through fire tv stick 4k.I am not receiving dolby atmos. what can I do? plz let me know. thanx

I’m a fan of your channel and I have a issue/question. I just got a new 2022 LG C2 OLED TV, a Sonos Arc/Sub/SL One speakers, and I got my Sonos Arc connected to the eARC port on my TV via a 2.1 HDMI cable. I am watching & streaming Dolby Atmos content on Prime Video & Netflix via my TV apps, but I’m only getting eARC 5.1 sound through the Sonos system and not Dolby Atmos. The Dolby Atmos settings on my TV are greyed out and the Sonos app is showing that I’m only getting a 5.1 signal when I’m connected to the eARC port on my TV. I tried connecting the Sonos ARC to the TV using a non-eARC hdmi port and I’m able to get Dolby Atmos only through my TV speakers. The Sonos system only works with the TV when I connect to it via the eARC port, but it doesn’t allow for Dolby Atmos. Is there a workaround for this? I hear of others experiencing the same issue with LG OLEDs and the Sonos Arc.

Why do people buy apple 4k tv when they already have a smart tv with Built in apps like Netflix

Thank you so much! Finally got atmos properly set up on the arc!

Thanks for the video. I tried palying an Atmos sample video file through vlc(apple tv) from a NAS Drive and I am not seeing the atmos logo on the app. I tried the infuse media player app(which supports atmos) aswell from the apple tv still no luck.

do you need a iphone with dolby atmos??. can't get it to work on android with my sonos arc.

Is there an advantage to HDMI 2.1 use for Dolby Atmos?

I have the Sony XBR65A8F oled TV & I just bought the Sonos ARC ( to be delivered this weekend), I doubt my TV has eArc .. is there a work around for me or should I return Sonos arc upon delivery since I will not get the whole Dolby Atmos Experience ? Also, thank you for another wonderful video.

I have a LG C8 that supports atmos, an apple tv and a new B&W Panorama 3. When I check atmos on internal speakers it lights up, when I switch to HDMI to the B&O=no atmos? Any ideas?

I have a sonos arc in a small room. I get atmos from my 2019 oled running through my Apple TV 4K. Is it worth it to by the HD fury to get lossless in a small room? Thanks!

Presentation style is so good . Really informative , just waiting on my Arc to be delivered ! I have a q90r 😬

And now I’m sitting here with my new sonos arc and ticked all the boxes of your check list
Still no Atmos….

I have a LG oled 55c1aub and a Apple 4K streaming box. Does the sound selection have to be bitstream or PCM?

Hi Daniel! Hope you can help me out with some questions on how to arrange my new oled setup, okay if i ask some questions about getting the most out of my LG oled + sonos arc + sonos one's + sub setup? Plus OLED internal player VS nvidia shield tv / pro

Bro i had the Sonos Arc for like 3 months before i realised i had been playing stereo-PCM....
I was wondering why the APP showed "stereo-PCM" when i was playing ATMOS content on Netflix etc.
Activated "Pass-Through" on my TV and the entire soundbar almost exploded. It was like the heavens opened.
So happy i figured it out 😁

would it work if i had connected a usb that contained a movie file that’s supposed to have dolby atmos support? assuming that the tv also supports that audio passthrough

What Blu ray player are you using? Should I consider a used Samsung k8500 to decode dts to Dolby digital and will it still deliver atmos?

I have an LGC1. Have my sonos arc connected to earc. Im playing atmos movies on hbo max but the sonos app says Dolby multichannel pcm 5.1. It doesnt say dolby atmos. Help plz

Can you show us how to set up a SONOS arc and LG OLED series with eARC. I use both Netflix and Disney and Dolby Atmos does show on the SONOS app, But whether this is Lossless or lossy is my problem. A STEP by STEP video on the process of how to get the most from SONOS Arc. Thank you 🙏🏼

Great video!! May I ask if you an old 2015 Samsung tv and it has arc not earc , will an Apple TV 4K Netflix app sent Dolby atmos (dd+) to the Sonos Arc or it needs earc or the tv to supports Dolby atmos in order to pass through and sent the audio to sonos arc?? Thanks

I use to have 1917 say atmos when connected to my arc sound system. I use a 60T Samsung and everything is enabled. Will check to see if uncompressed is checked for both LG 4K ultra hd blu ray player menu and Samsung’s. I believe I may be using wrong hdmi cord after moving.

Well I ordered another cable anyhow. Let’s hope it was just was uncompressed wasn’t selected.

PS5 doesn't support Dolby Vision/Atmos; kinda stupid tbh

Have you actually proved this with Apple TV 4K? I have an LG C9 and Samsung HW-Q90r and no matter how I connect the device to the hardware, I get Dolby Atmos but with AV lag or using the Apple Music app, it will crash playing audio. Apple support reckon their engineers are ‘looking into it’!!! What do you think?

If you don't have eArc you can buy a hdfury arcana. It's expensive at 180 pounds sterling here in the UK but it did allow me to get the best out of my expensive bose soundbar with one eArc out and 0 hdmi inputs. I bought a tv last year and doesn't support eArc. Not buying a new TV with my current set under 12 months old

I have a 2016 samsung ks8000. Should I still buy a sonos arc even though my tv isn't compatible with Dolby atmos and no e arc?

i have a Sony XBR 65X 930c TV (Has ARC not eArc, and an optical out)



i have a PC capable of 4k video and a NAD T778 surround amp(Also ATMOS)



i mostly watch 4 k with surround(Incl ATMOS) via my PC running to my T778 and T778 and TV



Works a charm



But i have a Netflix premium account, and to get 4k and ATMOS it gets trickier



If i use the TV NF app i get 4k,but crap TV audio



If i use my pc (and T778) & Edge browser for NF,i cannot get 4k, because i have a 5th Gen CPU,and a 7th gen is required i cannot get 4k.i assume i can get ATMOS tho?



My limitations here seem to be my ARC only TV and my 5th gen CPU



With those limitations in gear,can i still somehow get ATMOS from my Netflix?

Assuming I have the correct hdmi cables(I think you said they need to be hdmi 2.1), can they Sony xbr900f series tv achieve lossy atmos, or will I need something like the HDfury Arcana?

It would be helpful if Sonos supplied the high speed 2.1 cable!! ... I don’t know they didn’t. Changed it and now I have Atmos.

Is HDMI 2.0 enough for Atmos?

I currently have a 5.1 Sonos setup (playbar, sub and two sl1 for surround) I really want to get the arc and have a dual sub setup. My tv only has ARC and it’s not that old (Sony car-65x900e) should I upgrade? or would it be pointless. Thanks

I have an lg nanocell 90 2020 can I use Dolby atmos?

Help! My TV is LG oled65cx (2020), I'm connecting to the Sonos arc using the cable that came with the soundbar. I've checked all the boxes: eARC turned on etc, Netflix shows Atmos for the show, but when I start it out flashes "Dolby vision" and the Sonos app says Dolby digital plus 5.1. What can I possibly be doing wrong? I have unplugged the hdmi and power chords on both devices while switching to internal speakers in different orders but to no avail. Help?

I spent 2 hours with Sonos tech support to get my SL 1 speakers to work with my A90J Sony , no luck. I have the Sonos arc

The new Xbox supports Atmos on games

Help! I have a samsung Q80t from costco and recently purchased a sonos arc. I am able to get Dolby Atmos from the amazon prime and netflix native apps, but not from the HBOmax and Disney+ native apps. What is going on?

So weird question since I couldn't find anything on the web... Is the included hdmi cable that comes with the arc a hdmi 2.1 cable?

Thank you!!! Thanks to your video I finally got Dolby!!!

Hey brother, great video! You said only erac but showed both arc and earc as atmos transmitters. Therefore, does arc hdmi support atmos? Thx

I’m returning my arc too many e arc issues and lip syncing no audio when using e arc at all..$800 dollar piece of junk

My app doesn’t say anything like what sound I’m getting where it says tv

I have tv Samsung 2018 QN65Q6FNAF and Sonos Arc. I enjoy the sound but not able to get Dolby Atmos. I know my tv support only dolby digital and this is not enough. Is there a way to get the Atmos with this configuration or I may need a new tv. Thanks!
