Best way to setup my 75” Samsung QLED tv with my Samsung N950 soundbar/ Dolby Atmos with my...

Its problems with Atmos on home theatre that is the problem not headphones.

The Xbox doesn't seem to recognise the soundbar's (Samsung HW-N950) Atmos capability when plugged into my TV (Samsung 65' Q9FN)

Hi Daniel

I have a Samsung Qf7 qled and I have been totally happy with it works great with the xbox and when paired with the k950 Dolby atmos soundbar is magic

Thanks...my sound system is ATMOS licensed...TV is Samsung 65" Q9F and soundbar is SAMSUNG q80R Harmon Kardon with ATMOS. So compatibility is not the issue as is already built into soundsystem. Finally called Samsung Tech SUpport...spent couple hours on
phone with them troubleshooting, checking setup in OneConnect Box for television and output to Soundbar..... Everything was set correctly.....soundbar is just not recognizing the ATMOS feed through HDMI 4k UHD cable from Samsung OneConnect box. So they gave
me a shipping label to send soundbar for repair or replacement. Boxing it up next week.

FOLLOW UP: Well got soundbar back and same problem. So I started digging deeper....and find out that my flagship Samsung Q9F 65" is NOT ATMOS compatible...and appears that the newer ones are not as well..or is not clear. So basically, how I got around this
is setup my XBOX ONE X directly to HDMI port of soundbar....and when I want to play XBOX or watch an ATMOS movies using the apps on my XBOX (Netflix, Disney+, Youtube, etc) I have to set the television source to SOUNDBAR and it transmits the video to TV using
TV ARC connection already in place. Kind of a pain in rear but at least I can use ATMOS this way for movies and games. Sucks that their flagship televisions do not allow ATMOS selection and can only use Dolby Digital+.....but so it goes. I wish the technicians
would have known this and told people their tvs were not compatible with ATMOS rather than all the others I read that were having issues setting it up. So once I connected the XBOX to the HDMI port of television...I was able to install Dolby App and it automatically
recognized as ATMOS device and works perfectly.

Have found that if I turn off Dolby atmos through the tv settings it helps with the delay. Digital sound out on auto and Dolby atmos setting off on tv only. My current set up is LG CX with Samsung Q850A Soundbar. Hope this helps.
