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

Yes, I have 4K subscription.
I also see DOLBY ATMOS at my expert sound settings. But Dolby digital + is grayed.
I found stuff on Netflix, that is ATMOS, but I still see only DD 5.1.
You have the same settup as I do, so I have faith, but it is a bit frustrating.

Sorry guys. Wrong info on my original post. Please delete if possible. Anyways I confused DD+ with DD Atmos. I was able to turned on DD+ for Netflix following the recommendation from p29. Netflix Atmos via HDMI Arc is no go for my Q7FN, even though it did work for Amazon prime.

to be honest, I'm now past caring. I purchased an amazon fire TV cube and it does everything I want.
its the last Samsung TV I'm going to be by anyway.
