It works as intended.

Dolby Atmos for the home theater is available in several variations. There is Dolby Digital Plus with Atmos, there is Dolby TrueHD with Atmos, and there is Dolby MAT with Atmos (like PCM). Apple TV 4K uses Dolby MAT for output. Many receivers will recognize that as PCM (with Atmos).

Other (non-Atmos) audio is being output as PCM Multichannel (up to 7.1), when using the Auto audio format setting. That is the best quality setting.
