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

This does not work. Xbox just gives an error message saying the hardware does not support.

Just read that the 2019 nvidia shield supports atmos on Netflix. Shield -> Soundbar -> TV could be a setup for people with an pre 2019 Samsung TV.

On what port did you connect the xbox? Does the Soundbar select that port when you select Soundbar as source on the TV? What I can tell you for sure is that this Setup works if everything is done right as I have myself an XBOX one X connected and am able to stream the Atmos Demos to the TV. Controlling everything with the TV remote should also be possible as all these devices support HDMI CEC. What is always tricky is to switch to the right HDMI port on the soundbar. I don't really know why but in some conditions it won't select the HDMI port you want. In my case, sometimes it stays on HDMI2 and when I choose HDMI1 it automatically switches to HDMI2 all the time. I found out that using the smart things app let me fix this if it happens as I can choose there the correct port.
