Just realized this. So strange and specific at the same time.

I´m getting Atmos from all tvOS apps that offer Atmos content, including Itunes purchased movies, just fine. I´m getting Atmos from the vast majority of Apple TV+ shows as well, just not some of the most recent ones. For example, Atmos is not popping up for "The Last Thing He Told Me", or " The Crowded Room", yet it comes up perfectly fine for the most recent season of "Invasion", or "Silo".

As for the Apple TV+ movies, Atmos work without any problems in all of them.

So, it is an Apple server side problem with some content?.

I´m checking this using the internal speakers of my LG OLED C8 (a Dolby Atmos card pop up for a few seconds on the screen whenever you play something encoded in DA), and a couple of stereo paired original homepods ( by checking the A/V stats of the video while playing it, using the Apple TV hidden built in tool for that purpose.

Thanks in advance.
 
Play fine for me on a C8 ATV4K 3rd generation and receiver.

Interesting. I have an Apple TV 4K first gen. Wonder what I should do next. Perhaps its a region issue, server side?

Just checked on "The Last Thing He Told Me" on my 1st gen aTV 4K and I get that show in Atmos, no problems at all.
With the latest tvOS update I notice, however, that the Atmos logo disappears on Atmos music tracks. Only shows on the first track you launch from the song list. Then the logo disappears. The Atmos sound remains, however. So it seems to be only the UI/UX issue, not the stream(ing) issue.
