Wow that’s interesting. I didn’t think anyone streamed TrueHD w/Atmos. I know the ATV won’t even let Plex do it from a local server, but wouldn’t be surprised to learn Apple enabled it for their own service. Do you happen to recall any of the titles with which you witnessed this? I’m really...

No issues for me w/16.2

Same here!

Can you elaborate on this a little on how this is manifesting itself, and maybe describe the setup? I started getting video dropouts lately, too. Started (coincidentally?) around the latest tvOS 15 I tired prior to jumping to the 16 beta, and has continued. No more audio...

That kind of a naïve take. Not to mention the use of the word "if" here. There is clearly a widespread problem, so much so that even popular Apple sites are reporting on the issue, as seen here: https://www.macrumors.com/2022/05/06/apple-tv-dolby-atmos-audio-issues/

Update on my "repair" status. Received automated email Thursday from Apple that "repair" was complete, and replacement unit was shipping. Yup, replacement. Was furious. Decided to wait until it arrived before getting too worked up in the event that perhaps they replaced with a "good" unit...

Welp, turned on Netflix and immediately had the issue. So much for the “unit from a new batch” theory. Will update post-repair.

Decided to send mine in for repair. Bought a replacement to use while mine is being repaired. Came with 15.4.1 so should be affected by "the bug". Set it up today and watched a few minutes of Atmos content but was in a bit of a hurry; no issues yet (as expected). I'll monitor usage over a...

Correct: ATV4k --> AVR --> TV I even tried going into the TV with ATV and then using eARC to AVR, but same problem (and I'd rather not do it this way anyway)

Rumor is another ATV is to be released. Maybe features will include "working Dolby Atmos". Kidding aside, Apple would be stupid to not include a bitstreaming option that could also fully take advantage of hi-res Apple Music, as well as appease us with TrueHD streams. Mu understanding is the...

FWIW, I just sent Dolby Labs a message describing the issue, and how I was of the opinion that Apple is tarnishing Dolby's reputation. I'm sure it will go nowhere, but maybe there is the off-chance that it will receive attention and be pushed up the ladder to get Dolby to put pressure on Apple...

Yeah latest non-beta release. Can’t say for sure it’s worse. I noticed my AVR no longer drops the encoding when it occurs. But other weird things are also happening after too many sleep cycles. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good idea. Imagine the serial would be the same, but will do this anyway. I mean, they've replaced it once already. I asked how a repair would be different from going to buy a new one off the shelf, and she kind of danced around the question. Not sure I'm entirely convinced this will solve...

So, your timing is impeccable! Haha...I planned on calling into Apple support to get an update on my ticket, and more to complain about the ball being dropped (been pinging ticket every few weeks with last response in January). Your post reminded me to make the call. Got moved up to level 2...

Yeah, their release notes for tvOS are such garbage. But, sometimes interesting to review updates for the SDK to try and glean any changes: Apple Developer Documentation

tvOS 15.5 dropped, although I am not optimistic for any fixes. So, experienced something odd the other day. Was watching some Netflix content the other night (DV/DA, though I have Atmos disabled in the ATV so I'm not bothered with the popping), and was getting these brief video stutters (have...

Correct, it is working as intended. I believe QMS is supposed to resolve this minor annoyance.

I've noticed the audio "blanking" with various AVR's and Atmos sources (non-ATV). I tend to agree it is something different. Whenever I see discussion of "the issue" in other threads (especially macrumors and Reddit), people often conflate different audio problems with the actual one we're...

Agree 100%. Was replying to a different comment.
