Apple TV Atmos problems

Just set up my new home theater system and love it, but having problems with sound working when the Atmos on the Apple TV is enabled. Movies that are rated for Atmos will not play sound at all, but movies in other formats work fine. If I turn off Atmos support on the Apple TV everything works fine. My Apple TV is running through my Receiver which is a Pioneer Elite Model:VSXLX503/US. Has anyone else fell into the problem or having issues with any Pioneer receiver and Apple TV. Please Help if you have a solution would hate to have to return the receiver.

Apple TV 4K, iOS 12, Atmos

I also have an issue with Atmos not working on an ARCAM receiver - looks like Apple TV issue

It is now working with certain films - it looks like the tagging is inconsistent.

I have exactly the same issue, very disappointing. Bought the Samsung HW-K850 and no sound when playing Atmos movies. Everything else works, not sure whether this is a Samsung or Apple issue.
