My Apple TV 4K is connected to my Samsung TV to HDMI IN 2(DVI), the TV has another HDMI IN 3 (MHL) connection......and the Samsung soundbar is connected to TV thru HDMI IN 4 (ARC) and to its HDMI (ARC) as well....
I can't get Dolby Atmos to work....apple tv4k doesnt show anything under audio,
What can I do guys?....thank you for your help in advance!
The HDMI-DVI port only carries video, no audio. Not suitable for Apple TV.
If your Samsung TV has eARC, then possibly you can connect as Apple TV → TV → Soundbar, for Atmos compatibility.
If your soundbar has HDMI-in and HDMI-out, then you can connect as Apple TV → Soundbar → TV, for Atmos compatibility.
Play audio in Dolby Atmos or surround sound on your Apple TV - Apple Support

Apple TV 4K uses a high bandwidth form of Dolby Atmos that doesn’t work over ARC connections.
Hence you would need eARC for the 1st setup. ARC features aren’t used in the second setup.
