Dolby Atmos over Airplay only for homepods?

Airplay from Apple TV to a sound bar with Dolby Atmos? One of the last points seems to contradict that homepods can be used with airplay for atmos- it says “ Audio that you stream from Apple TV with AirPlay doesn't support Dolby Atmos or surround sound.”


So can only homepods do Atmos over airplay, or can other receivers do it too?

Hello broken999,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you want to know about using Dolby Atmos over AirPlay. The following support article addresses playing audio, including Dolby Atmos, from the Apple TV to one or two HomePod speakers: Use Apple TV to play audio throughout your home - Apple Support


As far as other receivers supporting Dolby Atmos via AirPlay, you will have to check the specifications of those receivers.


Best regards.
