Netflix Dolby Atmos problems with new Apple TV 4k

I have 15.6 running on mine. I had to walk my wife through how to turn DA off in the settings bc Severence on ATV+ kept doing the helicopter/choppy thing this weekend.

The part that got sensored from my post (stated differently this time):

hopefully tvOS 16 provides the improvements that are needed as some of the early reports suggest.

15.6 still a problem with Apple Music DA too. Not good when they can’t fix their own ecosystem. tvOS 16? 🤞

To watch Apple TV+ shows like Essex Serpent with Atmos without dropouts I have to watch on my Amazon Fire stick.

Problems are still there with new update. Apple doesn’t seem to care to want to fix this. Both reps I talked to were so disinterested.

The updates are not being released until 10AM Pacific Time, 1PM EST. Not sure how that translates to your time zone. But less than 2 hours for us in the Eastern Time Zone.

Has anyone been able to tell if the iOS16 fixed this issue? I've done a little bit of testing and haven't noticed any issues yet, but it's a small sample size for me thus far and I'll keep testing.

Also installed 16.0.

Have not been able to test a lot, but so far ok.

But as you know after restart etc. usualy good for a little while. So i will test more and put my import here.

I installed 16 and still there. Back to solution of turning Atmos off.

Clearly Apple does not care

I, too, have no problem now with TV OS16. Am watching The rings of power on amazon and it's HDR10 with dolby atmos..... not one problem.

I have had no drop outs nor any audio funny business using atmos on tvos 16.0+ on two apple 4k 2nd gen apple tv. My connections are apple tv>Lg CX>receiver. No problem.

I can confirm that 1st gen 4K ATV continues to drop out in tvOS16 but, so far, 2nd gen 4K ATV is holding up (5 hours of atmos material watched so far).

Both my first gen and second gen 4K ATVs do Atmos just fine with tvOS16. I use Belkin 2.1 Ultra High Speed HDMI cables, LG OLED TVs, and Denon receivers.

Have you tried to plug the Apple TV into the tv and then connect a cable from the tv to the amplifier with earc?

Yes. Still has the same issue.
