AppleTV4K with HomePod no Atmos setup option

I have a pair of Homepods setup with my AppleTV. Everything is updated to the latest software 14.2.


I cannot get the Atmos option in the ATV setup. My only option is the Dolby 5.1. Is there something I need to do? Even with this setting listening to a Dolby 5.1 movie doesn’t seem like the spatial audio is working.


even base is poor on the Homepods.


thanks


thank you

- Audio Format should be set to Auto, not Dolby Digital 5.1.

- You will not see the Immersive audio option mentioned in Settings with this setup. That will only show if an Atmos-capable audio system is detected (receiver or soundbar).

- ‘Home theater audio’ works with the HomePods, not the HomePod Minis.
