Ohh MM, what version Apple TV did you get, and how is it set/hooked up? Hopefully lots of great folks here can help you with figuring this out.So, I bought an Apple TV. Still no luck with Tidal which I understand from what other members have explained. But, I signed up for a Trial subscription to Apple Music and my results are the same i.e. I only get stereo. Still can't listen in 5.1.
I believe it's a 2nd generation and it connected with HDMI directly into my receiver.
No problems with an Oppo or Sony Blu Ray player.
Make sure you update it to the latest version, some may still be bought new & have older versions installed that don’t play the Atmos.
Which Oppo Blu-ray player? My Apple TV is plugged into the HDMI Input of my Oppo. No issues. Are you still only getting stereo? Are you sure the albums are indeed the Atmos versions?
Not a good start to 2023. I decided to go for broke and buy a new Denon X3800H. My Pioneer receiver is 10 years old so I feel I got my money's worth. So I swam down to my local Best Buy and bought the Denon. After getting everything wired up, I was ready to set up my new receiver. Turned it on and no picture on my LG Oled. I hooked up my Oppo to the HDMI cable and there was a picture. Switched the HDMI back to the Denon receiver. Nothing.

I took the Denon back to Best Buy and got my money back. I'm back to square 1.
Hope to try Dolby Atmos via Tidal real soon. But not tonight.i believe the Apple TV has a setting in the settings that enables the auto detection and playback of ATMOS content.So, I bought an Apple TV.

All is well. With my new receiver, I'm using an Amazon Fire Stick to play from Tidal and I am now listening to Dolby Atmos mixed songs in 5.1.

Hi! I have the same problem that you had. Tidal Atmos, through a Denon x6500 is impossible.All is well. With my new receiver, I'm using an Amazon Fire Stick to play from Tidal and I am now listening to Dolby Atmos mixed songs in 5.1.
Thank you all who took the time to guide me through this process. I did end up buying a new receiver, but my previous was 10 years old, so it was time to get a new one anyway.
Stay surrounded and thanks again.
So, can you confirm that with the Tidal app on an Amazon Fire Stick connected to any hdmi AV input, it works?
I imagine it must be the 4k model, right?
Tidal looks for an Atmos HDMI handshake, Apple Music doesn't have that limitation.
And that's what makes it better for people with older equipment that just want 5.1 or 7.1 from Atmos.
