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?

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.
