When will be the direct Bitstream available to see 4k movies with 3d sound?

Dolby Atmos Xbox One X

Hi,

I have my XBOX One X connected through HDMI to a Dolby Atmos Receiver (Onkyo TX NR-646), which works in Dolby Atmos with every device.

If i try to set my XBOX ONE X to Bitstream Dolby Atmos for Home Theater i get the following message

"Check you Audio Receiver 0x80bd0009"

I downloaded the Dolby App, i tried to set to the display input to manual instead of Auto, but then i can not set it to 4k anymore.

Bitstream Dolby Digital or Bitstream DTS is not a problem at all, but Atmos won´t work.

Please help!

Blu Ray Bitstream Passthrough faulty

I have bitstream out turned on on my setup and I all can get is plain DTS or plain Dolby digital. No True DD or master DTS or Dolby Atmos. Is the Dolby atmos supposed to be working for everyone now?

I have not heard about anything being announced but I would expect that some of the will probably get added via an update eventually but in the mean time I would suggest you either vote for an existing idea or create a new topic on the Xbox Uservoice web
site.

My Xbox One X is connected to my receiver. When I try to setup Atmos in the audio settings Xbox One X says that my receiver, Denon AVR-4300H, does not have Atmos capability. I am only allowed to choose DTS for the bitstream sound output. Atmos works fine
with my Samsung 4K player so I know it is an Xbox One X issue.

The Dolby App does not give any error until I try to view the demo videos where it flashes, "you are not viewing this video on Dolby Atmos." It plays the demo video on DTS instead.

If your receiver doesnt support Atmos you should stick with 5.1 and enjoy of Dolby. You need a better receiver or soundbar to use Atmos (with atmos is better using bitstream), bitstream with Dolby or DTS the audio will get a bit lossy.

For a better you can see this
topic in Xbox Reddit.

You can't use Atmos w/o bitstream - interesting why you came up with your conclusion though.

***UPDATE***

I finally got Dolby Atmos to work!!! Under "Settings, Display & Sound, Volume, Setup TV & AV Control, Audio" I had to change the default "Stereo" setting to "Surround Sound." The Xbox One X had to reboot to accept/change the setting. Once it rebooted Dolby
Atmos was working. It is interesting that the main control will be under the volume settings instead of audio output. You would think the system will be smart enough to activate surround sound when you are choosing Dolby Atmos to bitstream.

Hopefully this "difficult to find" change of setting will work for others who are having Dolby Atmos issues.
