Dolby Atmos for Home Theater no longer working in Streaming Apps - Confirmed works elsewhere

I wrote an entire write-up, which will be below this, however this is the only location I can find that will likely push feedback to the Xbox Software Development team to find the cause and push a solution out as soon as possible.

It appears that the streaming Codec for videos (streamed online) is not being pushed to AVRs. When attempting to stream off, say Netflix (Which I do have the highest tier subscription which provides Atmos), as of this month it no longer will work. This has been discussed on numerous AVR forums, however it appears absolutely no one has bothered to submit a ticket -- Likely due to the complicated nature of "how" to submit one. That being said. Here's the write-up:

Dolby Atmos does not work on any streaming platform, however this does work in the Application. I used Netflix as a prime example, which I have the highest tier Netflix subscription which supports Atmos. Typically when loading a TV Series with supported Atmos audio, you can choose the Audio selection as "Atmos" within Netflix. Choosing this works properly, however my AV Receiver, Denon AVR-S960H, will display this content as being outputted within DST (Standard 5.1 Surround Sound Dolby Codec). When testing once more within Apple TV, this occurs the same, along with other services that support Atmos. When utilizing Dolby Access to test once more, specifically "Nature's Fury" demo, Atmos displays correctly on the receiver and outputs to all speakers as "Atmos". This occurs properly when utilizing a game, such as Halo Infinite. I've checked all hardcore, software and physical connections on my AVR, including testing outside devices to confirm this is specific to the Xbox. I power cycled the Xbox Series S, re-installed each application, signed out and in, and confirmed there is no issue within the TV by changing displays to another output. I confirmed the HDMI cables, 2.1, are correct and I confirmed there are no errors in communication to any device. In addition, this is not isolated to me, as a whole few dozen "Audio" forums, via Google search setting parameters to this month, display the same issue as occurring to them with the Xbox consoles. In the past, since I've owned the Xbox Series S in 2020, Atmos has always worked (When applicable) on streaming media. For some reason, this codec is not being forced to the AVR when inside these nested applications. This could be an issue with the applications, or it could be a firmware issue on Xbox's end. My Xbox build is xbl_flt_2211ni.221130-1745 and I am within the Omega Xbox Update Preview ring.

To confirm further, I tested each cable, each speaker, each of the three televisions LG, Hisense and Samsung. I tested two different Denon AVR's with Atmos support. I tested between the Xbox Series S, the Smart TV's, and a laptop which all output Atmos appropriately.

Once more, Atmos for Home Theater outputs through the Xbox Series S, with information of correct Codec data on the Denon AVR, while using Halo Infinite or utilizing the Dolby Access Application (Nature's Fury for sound example). When loading into Netflix, selecting and confirming the audio source is set for Atmos in Audio Options, the only Codec being pushed is a 5.1 Channel Mix.

I attempted to, onc emore, re-install each application, log out and in each application, power-cycle the Xbox Series S, and tried AppleTV, which does have Atmos Support but it will not output Atmos (Despite depicting the content is within Atmos inside the Application).

Once more, this is not an issue with hardware, software on my end, or configuration / payment to the services, but an issue with Codec not being outputted from the Application (IE Netflix, Apple TV, etc) to the AVR. This does work, once more, inside Halo Infinite and Dobly Access, to confirm Atmos is functional on the Xbox Series S, not however in these applications.

To confirm lastly, this was a functional benefit of the Xbox Series consoles, and is touted as being "the" home theater console among countless with this luxury, and was working properly until sometime within this past month. I've used this continuously in the exact same methodology and setup, with zero change, since launch of the Xbox Series consoles.

If there is anyway this could be pushed to an Xbox Support team for looking into what could be causing this to not push, it would be greatly appreciated, as I've seen over hundreds of comments about this across different forums, on social media and on different discussions but no one has been successfully able to submit a ticket. To appropriately address any other concerns, every aspect of the Xbox Series S, the AVR, the connections, the software and accounts were all tested, addressed, and all steps from troubleshooting diagnostic from level 1 to top level help desk, beyond application support side would have been taken already. This is, in specific, an issue within the Xbox software, unrelated to any end-user and would be affecting every Xbox user, not specifically one person.
