Dolby Atmos is available when Audio Format is set to Auto (=PCM Multichannel), and Atmos MAT compatible output is detected. Changing Audio Format to Dolby Digital 5.1 is a fallback conversion for when Auto is not functional, and it would disable Atmos.

Oh exactly that’s the issue. Auto mode means it should play any format that’s available here. That’s a glaring defect and hope apple rectifies it through a software update.

5.1 Dolby is the basic sound available with most movies and videos. You cannot be switching over the audio mode every time. That’s ridiculous!!
