Dolby Atmos sound breaks

Spammo — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 10:09:56 GMT

During live sport events shown on Sky HDR channels, Dolby Atmos will be lost intrnittently and the sound will revert to normal and then return to Atmos shortly after. I am a Sky Q user.

I am aware that there have been previous posts of this happening when the adverts are playing but my issue is during the actual event/programme itself.

This has only been an issue in the last month or so and previously the issue did not exist other than during adverts.

Any ideas / thoughts?
