Hi XxDrAg0nxX,
You should be able to change the settings for Dolby Atmos by using Settings on your Apple TV. To complete this, follow the steps below:
Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD automatically play sound in the highest quality that's supported by your home entertainment system setup and that's available with content that you watch.
If your home entertainment system doesn't support the audio format that Apple TV automatically selects, you can manually change the audio format. Go to Settings > Video and Audio > Audio Format and turn on Change Format. From here you can choose the following:
• Dolby Digital 5.1: Plays audio on multiple speakers and a subwoofer, like a 5.1 speaker setup.
• Stereo: Supported audio quality for all televisions, movies, and TV shows that plays sound through a right and left channel.
This information and more is found here: Play audio in Dolby Atmos or surround sound on your Apple TV - Apple Support
Take care.
