Dolby Atmos audio drop out

[Scrumpet]

Ah that's a shame. Fingers crossed for a Sky Stream 2.0!

What power mode do people use ?

I mean the standby power feature? 

I noticed that my Atomos setup worked better after restarting it a few times.

@Dazzasky Dolby Atmos is compressed when streaming it just depends on the extent of compression that is being used by the streaming platform.

All Pass-Through is doing is passing the audio stream through and allowing your device to control which Codec to use for the audio processing, but you're not getting an uncompressed stream....

Passthrough is still better than Dolby Digital Plus, that's just fact. If your happy to use Dolby Digital Plus then that's good for you. Personally I would rather the passthrough option on Stream be fixed. Fortunately there's not too many programmes on Sky that I haven't seen that are showing with a Dolby Atmos sound track.

I go Dolby Digital+ to the TV and then the TV is set to Pass-Through to the soundbar via eARC. It works perfectly with no audio drops and no noticeable difference in quality when I was set Pass-Through to Pass-Through....
