Apple Music Atmos on Firestick 4K Max

Is Atmos supported on an Amazon Firestick? I've linked my Apple account to the Firestick using the Alexa skill and I can play Apple Music songs that way. But, no Atmos, just DD+ Stereo at 48 kHz. The Firestick does Atmos just fine with other sources, just not Apple Music.

Apple Msic Atmos support on non Apple devices Hi there, I'm a regular Apple Music user. Has the LG G2, Samsung Q930C home entertainment combo at home which supports Dolby Atmos. I'm afraid don't use Apple TV 4k. Currently, there is no way I can play Apple Music Atmos content on my home entertainment system because, a. Apple Music LG app doesn't support Dolby Atmos b. Airplay 2 cast to Samsung soundbars does not support Doly Atmos. So the question is, will we be seeing an update to the Apple Music LG app with Atmos support? Currently, LG Tidal app supports this feature but not Apple Music nor Amazon. Thanks in advance!

I can't play any Dolby Atmos music (via Apple Music individual plan) in my home AV system. I have a trial subscription to Apple Music and want to playback Dolby Atmos music through my home AV surround system, that is the primary reason for me to subscribe to Apple Music. My AV system is Dolby Atmos capable as it can currently play Amazon Music Unlimited or Tidal Dolby Atmos music tracks with no problem. With Apple Music, I've tried to play Dolby Atmos tracks from my iPhone and iPad via AirPlay to my AV Receiver (Denon AVR-X8500HA), and it only plays in PCM, not Dolby Atmos. My AV surround system also has a LG OLED TV attached (i.e., SmartTV), so installed the Apple Music app on the TV and played back music tracks from the SmartTV. Same problem, only plays PCM, not Dolby Atmos. I tried playing Apple Music Dolby Atmos from my Xbox Series X console using the Apple Music app, but it only plays in PCM, not Dolby Atmos. How can I playback spatial music tracks from Apple Music directly on my home AV system? Do I have to invest another $135 for the Apple TV 4K to do this? Amazon Music Unlimited and Tidal HiFi Plus both can playback Dolby Atmos tracks via their own apps on Amazon Fire TV. Can I do something similar with Apple Music's Dolby Atmos tracks? Thank you.

Hi Oconnellpe,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

While Dolby Atmos is supported in Apple Music, it would be best to work with Firestick Support for assistance with using this feature.

Regards.

OK. Thanks. It's that usual thing with two vendors. Amazon support referred me to Apple! As there's no Apple Music app on Firestick, I was hoping you would know whether your music product supports Atmos on other platforms.
