i have Q9FN and HW N850 Atmos Soundbar
when using Netflix App on the TV, i went into Expert Audio Settings and it lets me select "dolby digital +" for audio ouput
the hw n850 sounbar supports Atmos
yet when on netlfix still only get crappy 5.1 sound
ive owned a sony xf9005 recently and their netflix app gives Dolby Atmos sound using "dolby digital +" , yes it is "lossy" dolby atmos but still sounds much better than DD 5.1
so my question is why are Samsung not updating their Netflix App to have Dolby Atmos. i have what is required here, dolby digital + selected on q9fn and atmos capable hw n850 soundbar. this is all thats required for "lossy Dolby Atmos" same as you get on 2018 sony & LG tv's
come on samsung, please sort this out by updating to a atmos capable Netflix APP version. its all thats needed
its bad enough having no DTS after spending £2000 on your tv & sounbar, the very least you can do to keep customers a little bit happier is Fix this one

Just buy a new nvidia shield tv and enjoy atmos. It's not worth to wait till Samsung maybe does or maybe doesn't do something. I fought for months to get the money for my q85r back as it didn't work like it should and finally solved my needs without hoping that Samsung will help out.

And as I mentioned, go for a 2019 shield tv and connect it directly to the soundbar. You will still have to deal with switching Inputs but you will have amazing sound and image. I was, by the way, able to setup the shield in a way were he turned on TV and Soundbar just with a push on the shield remote.

I have a Q9FN, a KS8000, MU9000 and various other lower end models. I will tell you this though, the Q9FN is the last Samsung TV I buy. I now have two LG OLED TVs and I love them. The picture quality is superior and they have Dolby vision and Atmos. Samsung has been beaten but with the clever marketing of QLED and the lower prices, they stay on top. Everyone should buy an OLED for their primary TV at least because they are superior in every way. Samsung also has not been helpful with many issues I have had and even got me for 1K dollars on my 75 inch Q9FN which I received 3 months after I ordered it and 49 days after it arrives the price dropped 1K. They wouldn't work with me at all and that says a lot about a company especially when you have proven to be a loyal customer. Go LG OLED folks!!!

It's a goddamn shame that with a 2018 TV (Q7FN) I cannot reproduce Dolby Atmos on my HW Q90R soundbar. They simply don't want to do that small effort. Shame on Samsung

Hello friend I also bought a Qled Q9FN TV and I was even more unhappy when I bought Samsung's QR 9 soundbar and it didn't take advantage of dolby atmos and dolby X sound, so I bought an Apple TV 4K and it solved me all this sad, I think that with an update from Samsung solved a lot a hug and good luck.

Guys..
I too have a 2018 QLED 7 series and no Atmos to my Onkyo... Amazon Prime does..
Had a chat with samsung who send me to netflix who listened to my woes.. but couldnt promise anything
Samsung says Netflix produces the app
Netflix couldn´t confirm that the feature would be added
It sucks.. my Netflix App version is also 8, but it seems we should look to Netflix to upate the app, we know the TV can send Atmos because of Amazon Prime, so I told Netflix it must be a matter of coding
Crossing my fingers..

Does any ATMOS indication appear on your Soundbar and the Amazon app? Did you set up something specific for it to work? Thanks!
