This is very important as well.
Fantastic sound, surprisingly full, robust, spatial and immersive. Tried with a bunch of Netflix and Disney titles. Wasn´t expecting anything, but, i´m impressed.
You need to change your settings for authentication needed for personal requests in the home app to never. Then it works.
I do not think I am on the beta and am having the same problemsThat must be it....on tvOS beta here
It appears that there is no visual indication as with the spatial audio feature of the Airpods Pro, but you should see the atmos logo on titles which have it. Try something from Netflix, Disney, or Apple TV+ with Atmos. How it sounds?
Did the update take away the option to select output "HomePod" in settings on Apple TV 4th gen? I can't find this setting anywhere now.
Do you have the Apple TV audio output set to Auto and Atmos ON? Do you see the Immersive audio option there?.
Disable change format. Atmos should now appears, if you have the Homepods set up as the default audio option of the Apple TV.
Ok.
Stupid question but I have to ask:
¿Do you guys have the Apple TV 4K?. If you have the Apple TV 4/HD, this won´t work.
Also, just noticed that if I turn off Dolby Atmos from the audio settings of my TV, Atmos doesn´t appear in the Apple TV as an option, even when I have the Hompods selected as the default audio output.
Does your TV set support Atmos?. It shouldn´t be a requirement, but based on what im seeing, perhaps it is.

Doing "B). Make sure that the Homepods and the Apple TV are in the same room (via the Home app) as the Apple TV" makes all the difference if anyone else is having issues with this. My Apple TV was in "Living Room TV" with my Apple TV and the Homekit TV. My HomePods were in "Living Room Audio" with other homekit Audio devices. Created a new "Living Room Entertainment" and dumped them all in it and now the Apple TV sees the HomePods as a Default Audio Source
This is the same as me. Tried everything. Can someone who hasn’t got an atmos enabled tv confirm it has worked for them?
How does it sound?. Shpuld great just regular 5.1 tracks as well. Try to stream something.
Do your TV set support Atmos?. If you go to an Atmos title on Apple TV+, Disney+, or Netflix?. do you see the Atmos logo?.
Yup. (EDIT, misread your post, Sorry).
Qupting myself:

Nevertheless, like I said, it should sound better with just regular 5.1 tracks. Have you tried it?. If so, how it sound for you?. Better than before the update?.
No atmos in Disney or Netflix though.....this is so much harder than it needs to be
I´m definitely seeing the Atmos logo in Netflix and Disney. Try force quitting the apps and reopening them.
