    try going into the settings and see if surround is set to be enabled

     

    if one set audio to be surround and no surround setup is connected then what you describe is 100% what happens

    99% of dialog is send to the center speaker which on a stereo speaker setup is absent because the 2 stereo speakers are treated as front left and front right where only background audio is played

    I did have to reset the Apple TV 4 so I changed the audio to DD 5.1 instead of "Best Available". I'm still having the drop out. I've attached ATV4 to "Game" input on the receiver and I am getting 5.1 so maybe the media player input on the receiver has gone bad. I will continue to fool around with receiver inputs and other ATV4 shows to see if the same thing is happening. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction . . .

    If you're using an audio-video receiver for your 5.1 sound, the center channel level may be turned down.

    Is ATV connected to the AVR by HDMI?

    Yes. The volume seems to be fine when the ATV4 is connected to another input. I will continue to try different combinations.
