Hi. You'd need to give a lot more detail on how your equipment is hooked up, TV, Apple TV, home theater speakers, receiver. Have you tried the different Apple TV audio output settings: Best, 5.1, Stereo? To test what's going where in the different modes and configurations, you can get the free Surround Speaker Check app from the TV app store. It exercises the different channels, though only 5.1, I'm afraid.
