Can someone with Atmos receiver setup confirm whether or not info bar shows Atmos?
Unfortunately I don't have an Atmos receiver. The info bar might still show TrueHD because the Xbox is sending a TrueHD stream to the receiver. The TrueHD stream contains an Atmos substream.
I have an Atmos receiver now, and the info bar just shows "Dolby TrueHD" while the receiver is decoding the Atmos substream.

Thanks a lot for that. So it must be we’re probably is still correctly functioning when using Dolby Atmos for headphones. It does definitely sound quite a bit better on true hd or Atmos encoded films.

Hi guys, any idea if dolby atmos can support 24bit? My audioquest dragonfly usb dac cant support 16bit, only 24bits and i cant select spatial sound because this. Maybe a future update? Thanks!

I would like to know this as well as I'm thinking about buying a Myflower ARC which via USB only goes as low as 24/48.

That doesn't mean Xbox was also decoding TrueHD + Atmos. The Dolby Audio Decoder Media Foundation transform on Windows can decode only E-AC-3 + Atmos, and Xbox probably uses the same decoder. Even licensed Atmos decoders on various Android media players and LG webOS can decode only E-AC-3 + Atmos. I'm guessing only Blu-ray players are licensed to decode TrueHD, and I don't think any are licensed to decode TrueHD + Atmos.
