Using the Netflix app, Dolby Atmos activate instantly... But using Apple TV didn't activate 😟


I am watching SEE tv show... There said it's have Dolby Atmos... But not activate...

Hi again Magnofab,


Since your screenshot is of an iPhone, are you using AirPlay or Casting the video to your Chromecast? If so, try downloading the Apple TV app directly to your Chromecast and play there. Audio streamed by AirPlay in the Apple TV app is not capable of Dolby Atmos.


We hope this helps!

Hi there Magnofab,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are trying to play See in Dolby Atmos, but it is not playing with Dolby. See what you need to watch the highest quality video available here: Find movies with 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, or Dolby Atmos in the Apple TV app. Make sure your devices and network meet all of the requirements.


We hope this helps!
