Subwoofer not playing through Apple TV

My subwoofer does not play through my Apple TV. I have a Sony STR-DH790 in a 2.1 configuration. When I Bluetooth to the receiver it uses the sub. Through the Apple TV it does not.

I figured it out. In my case since I’m only using stereo I had to go into setting->Video and audio->audio format-> stereo only. If you have a 5.1 or 7.1 system leave the format in auto then disable Dolby Atmos, that option is just below stereo only.
