I just got a Q9FN and having similar issues to others that I have found. I have a Denon 4400H receiver, with the eARC updated firmware, I have a Dolby Atmos setup. The only way I can get Atmos to work is to run all compnents through the receiver hdmi, then ARC to the OneConnect Box... I lost the ability to have the FreeSync option when gaming, and the auto game mode, and I also run into handshake issues everynow and then. If I switch from xbox to comcast or something, sometimes I lose all sound and have to power everything down.... very frusterating.
I would love to use the OneConnect box as intended and just use the ARC to the receiver, but I can't get it to have Dolby Atmos, even with high end UBD9700 Samsung BluRay player, or any Nexflix app (TV or Xbox).. So, yea.. sounds like the OneConnect box can't handle Atmos. I'm hoping for a firmware update, but who knows??? Its' just stupid that a $3k TV can't do the latest audio format that has been around for a few years now... I'm tempted to return the TV and go OLED..
Ideas??
Thanks

Honestly you're almost there, just buy the HDFury Maestro TX (you don't need the RX) for $499 and you can do it. Best bit of kit I ever bought!
They also have the Diva being released in 5 days with a free LED strip for the back for your TV which will reproduce the colours on screen. That should also split the signal as you want as well and you get the LED strip free then with a pre-order.
Email them first though to confirm it does split the signal but i'm 99.9% sure it does. If not get the Maestro for the same price!

Just a quick question. Did you just call the premium care number and request for 2 new remotes and a fibre optic cable?
I never got a fibre optic cable with mine.
P. S I bought mine from Harvey Norman in Lidcombe, Sydney

Yes I got mine Harvey Norman also, but when i called Samsung they told me I was entitled to get those things, I also checked on their web site on premium warranty and it confirms it.
I think it depends on the source to get atmos, The best is uncompressed blu-rays otherwise your stuck with compressed versions that have to pass through the internet.

Can't be a HDMI problem because I got the best one I could find on amazon.
Doesnt mean it's not faulty, could be worth a try if you have a spare high speed cable lying around, i went for a major overkill just to make sure it works and i know part of the cable won't work unless it is connected to eARC but I got the 48gb, ultra high speed, Belkin from HN, a bit expensive but atleast i know it can do what ever is thrown at it and I have had no problems, everything works as it should. I think all 2018 tv's and earlier will suffer the same problem for Atmos as they too probably do not have eARC on them yet, it is relatively new.

You guys have been way more informative and helpful than the actual Samsung customer service.
Thanks heaps fellas!

Such a shame. I've been a hardcore Samsung fan since Note 1 came out.
I probably have over $10,000 worth of Samsung products at home. Brand loyalty is killing me softly!
