Stereo HomePods no Dolby atmos

I have a pair of stereo HomePods (1st Gen) I have them setup as my default audio and paired to an Apple TV 4K (2nd Gen) my issue is that I am not getting atmos. I have a smart tv (vizio pq9) and I have toggled the audio settings to auto, pcm and digital & it doesn’t work on any of them. Please help!

Hi Skywalker817,


When trying to play Dolby Atoms on your Apple TV and HomePods, check out Play audio in Dolby Atmos or surround sound on your Apple TV to set up and use this feature.


Note:


"Setups you can use


On Apple TV 4K with the latest version of tvOS, you can listen to music, movies, and TV shows in Dolby Atmos. You can use the following setups to play sound in Dolby Atmos or surround sound:


    • One or two HomePod speakers*
    • A television that supports Dolby Atmos audio
    • A Dolby Atmos compatible sound bar with a television that supports Dolby Atmos audio
    • A Dolby Atmos-enabled AV receiver

* Your Apple TV and HomePod speakers automatically play sound in Dolby Atmos or surround sound if it's available with content that you watch. HomePod mini doesn't support Dolby Atmos. If you want to set up home theater audio with HomePod, find out how.


Take care.
