I have connected a 65qn85b neo qled tv with a q990b soundbar using the earc inputs/outputs on both the tv and the soundbar with a hdmi 2.1 cable. I have then activated the earc (auto) and the atmos (Blue Spot) in the tv sound expert parameter menu.

Now I Am Watching A Movie On Disney+ Using the Application in the TV. I can see the dolby atmos is available from the detail menu of the movie in the disney app.

When I press on the information Button of the Soundbar Remote Control, I can see the following message on the Small Screen of the Soundbar: “TV/Earc” then “Multi CH PCM”. Is this really the message I Should Expect ? I was rather expecting a message like “Dolby Atmos”.

The Samsung Support Told Me that it is normal but i not fully convinced with their ANSWER.

Thank you for your support.

FYI I exchanged with an advisor via the assistance cat who told me that I did not have Dolby Atmos on my TV, but rather Dolby Vision ..

That of disappointment on my part, maybe it is the same problem for you ?

The funniest in this story is that I have the “Dolby Atmos” activated in my expert settings.

Hello, one has an 8K TV 82Q800T model which is connected to a HW-Q990B soundbar. When I watch program in Dolby Atmos (Disney +, Amazon Prime) The bar informs me to be in multichannel PCM. On the other hand, I also have an Xbox Series X console connected to HDMI directly on TV and there, the sound is well indicated in Dolby Atmos on the sound bar. I use the e-arc function. Why with the applications installed in the TV directly the Dolby Atmos sound is not recognized while with a plug -in device in HDMI çà works ? Thank you for your help.

Hello, I have exactly the same concern, well almost.

I have a QE65Q95T TV of 2020, with a HW-Q990B soundbar in HDMI EARC. No worries to decode the Dolby Atmos from Disney+ for example, Dolby Atmos is well displayed on the small screen of the sound bar.

On the other hand, some audio tracks called “Dolby Atmos” are not read, television shows me that the audio format is not supported, however, it is Dolby TrueHD 7.1,48000hz atmos, and I don’t understand.

Ditto with so -called “Atmos” tracks on downloaded MKVs, “audio data not supported” is displayed on the TV, and I don’t understand why.

I contacted the Samsung support, we tried a few manipulation, in vain, in particular forcing TV to Tranféré the sound directly at the helm without decoding it, but without success, because the “Transfer” menu is grayed out on my TV and I Do not know why (Sound / Settings Expert / Digital audio output format (PCM / Auto / Transfer, the latter being grayed) ?

For example, test with this demo:

The Dolby Atmos compatibility option is well selected on the expert sound settings of the TV.
