Apple Music is not compatible with Atmos.

I have a working Atmos system with my Denon system, Roku tv, and the ARC system. This works for Netflix, Amazon, Appletv and Disney+ and gives great Atmos sound. But not in Applemusic! Is this not possible?

It appears that the Roku TV will not support Dolby Atmos or Lossless Audio from Apple Music. I did find these 2 articles that details the shortcomings of Music on the Roku TV. Not sure why they would support it for other apps, and it may be possible that they could provide a software update that would allow support. You may need to check with Roku directly if that is something they plan on doing.
