The Apple TV Model A1625 running tvOS11.2.1 will not run Dolby 7.1. There is not an option in the Audio Settings for 7.1, 5.1 is there however. Should my AppleTv model be able to run the 7.1? If not, does what model does run the Dolby 7.1 audio?
Thank you - Rob
Apple TV (4th generation), iOS 11.2.1
According to Apple's tech specs for the Apple TV (4th generation) (A1625) Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 surround sound is supported.
Apple TV - Technical Specifications - Apple (CA)
Audio Formats
HE-AAC (V1), AAC (up to 320 Kbps), protected AAC (from iTunes Store), MP3 (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Apple Lossless, FLAC, AIFF, and WAV; AC-3 (Dolby Digital 5.1) and E-AC-3 (Dolby Digital Plus 7.1 surround sound)
But it isn't working (no sound from rear speakers in any setting under "audio" on the AppleTV). There's actually no option in settings except for 5.1, automatic and stereo.
Apple TV4 and Dolby 7.1
