Top Gun: Maverick and Dolby Atmos
Apple advertises Top Gun: Maverick as 4k and Dolby Atmos but the audio signal is Dolby Digital only. Tried Vudu and the picture wasn’t as good but had Dolby Atmos and sounded better. What gives?

Apple TV 4K
On devices where the Apple TV app supports Dolby Atmos, then the app would send the audio in the format as set for the device. There is no app specific setting for it. Content in the Apple TV app on that device would show the badges for supported maximum formats, when applicable for that device.
On what device do you have the Apple TV app?
You may contact the Support staff for further investigation.
Ok. Thanks. Probably just watch it on Vudu because it’s Dolby Atmos there and you can 100% hear the difference but the picture isn’t quite as good but for that movie, sound takes the cake. I also have the actual 4K Blue ray coming when it’s released.
Do you have the Apple TV box? Or do you use the Apple TV app on a third party device?
Do you get Dolby Atmos on any other Apple content or iTunes Store content on the Apple TV box?
I am not familiar with the specifics of the Xbox version of the Apple TV app. It is a separate build, so there could be a few differences in theory. The press coverage and user reports (websites) all seem to imply that Dolby Atmos is supported normally, as expected. If the app and device and equipment support Atmos, then TG:M should let you have exactly that.
Unless someone else with hands-on Xbox experience chimes in, I would suggest to contact an expert from the Apple Support staff for further assistance.
I have exact problem. Using Xbox Series X with Yamaha Receiver. 4k no Atmos. However, when I select AD Audio it shows it in Atmos???
The standard Audio must not be in Atmos.
Check your AD audio and see if it sends Atmos.
Other than that seem need to wait for 4K Blu-ray....
yes. It shows the 4K and Dolby Atmos badges on the screen. It’s an Xbox Series X and I use Dolby Atmos on other Apps on my Xbox Series X. I just go to try and use it through my Yamaha receive and the option is unavailable. Available with other things through Xbox Series X but not Apple TV
AD - is Audio Description - a narrative voice over.
If you go to the far right and see the Audio Icon there will be a list.

Doesn't solve the problem at all but shows Atmos can be sent.
Just using Apple TV app third party. Says Dolby Atmos supported but doesn’t send the proper signal to my Yamaha Receiver. Vudu/Disney + apps do Dolby Atmos just fine it appears.
AD Audio? Where is the located or how do you select it and I will try it out and see.
thanks.
