Audio with Sonos Beam gen 2

I have a Hisense U8G television that has eARC, Apple TV 4k, and a Sonos Beam gen 2. I have experienced audio delays since I added the Beam. Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 15

Why does this not work with Samsung Frame TV which has eARC and second gen Sonos Beam? I can't get the Atmos to work with the latest Samsung TV and second gen Sonos Beam. The sounds gets muted if I set it to pass-through on the TV settings. If I set to Auto then the audio gets re-sample to Stereo. If I use the HboMax app built into the TV, there is no problem getting 5.1 sound to Sonos Beam. I have to change the Audio Format on AppleTV to 5.1 for the audio to work. The moment I set to Auto or Auto, Atmos Available, the audio goes back to Stereo. What is going on?

Audio delay issues with 14.5 and 14.6. I have a home theater and recently added to my system so I can hear Atmos content. I also purchased an Apple TV 4K 2nd Gen 2 weeks ago. I stuck to physical media strictly until recently when I purchased it. Whenever I play any Atmos content with Atmos turned on, there is delay in the sound. If I turn off Atmos and force the ATV to encode in DD 5.1, the delay goes away. This happens on BOTH ATV's in my house. My son said this was not an issue until updating to 14.6 on his older one. Yes, both ATV's are updated to 14.6 - per Apple's suggestion. Yes, both have been factory reset, at least twice - per Apple's suggestion. I have experimented with a multitude of settings (matching frames.. etc.. etc.. ) trying to get this to go away. My solution short term is to delay the sound in the center channel by about 90ms. Not even close to an optimal solution, or even a solution at all. Judging by what I see as I type this, this is a widespread issue, clearly an Apple problem. The issue is, the support people don't even recognize the issue. Is there a fix for this?

The Beam is a Sonos product, I would recommend reach out to Sonos if the following steps fail:

· Unplug Modem from it’s power source for 2-3 minutes and then plug it back in.

· Unplug Router from it’s power source for 2-3 minutes and then plug it back in.

· Unplug Apple TV from it’s power source for 2-3 minutes and then plug it back in and retest the system.
