Hi pearcscs,


Sure thing. That's correct. If you're playing Dolby Atmos content and you have a compatible sound system or headphones like your AirPod Pros, it should play automatically. This article explains more:


Find movies with 4K, HDR, Dolby Vision, or Dolby Atmos in the Apple TV app


Take care.

Hi pearcscs,


Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand you'd like to enjoy Dolby Atmos when using the Apple TV app on your Mac, and we'd like to assist. How are you listening? Are you using headphones, the Mac speakers, or an external sound system? Also, which model of MacBook Air do you have? Also, just to confirm, you have macOS 11.5.2, correct? You can find the version by going to the Apple menu in the upper left corner of your screen, and choosing About This Mac.


We look forward to learning more about your issue.


Take care.
