Sorry I'm not really sure what AGC is. But moving past the fact that you can't really get real atmos sound out of a soundbar, if your set up is shield ->(hdmi) soundbar ->(hdmi) TV, you should at least be play to play files with atmos on your shield without getting an error, because an "atmos" soundbar is technically capable of decoding an atmos signal. If that's your configuration and things are still not working, please try playing an mkv with an atmos track and see if that's at least playing.

first off i wrote AGC instead of AVR that is on me (sorry)
second i'll try to find a atmos file (with hdr or something) and see if my soundbar pops up saying "dolby atmos"

my setup atm is: this pic basicly

Image
Shield has a cat7 cable direct too the modem with a fiber connection

EDIT: updated the pic cause i'm a dumbasss

Yeah that’s not going to work. Your TV cannot passthrough the lossless atmos signal to your soundbar. You have to plug the shield directly into the soundbar.

Just looked at the specs of the SK6Y, and it doesn't look like it's capable of decoding an atmos signal. Unfortunately even with the correct connectivity, it's not going to work with your current equipment.

Hey guys, how can I get dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU in a .ts container? With MakeMKV I can only get dvhe.06.06, BL+EL+RPU, which MX Player just won't recognise as Dolby Vision?

It is also strange, that MediaInfo shows HDR10 / HDR10 if video is dvhe.06.06, BL+EL+RPU and Dolby Vision / HDR10 if video is dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU.

Then my previous statement still stands. shield pro into hdmi in of soundbar and then hdmi out from soundbar to tv.

good news and bad news
connected it as you said and yay i got dolby atmos sound! the soundbar switched (it gives a popup) and played truhd + atmos audio movies xD
now for the bad news,not sure if this is a cable issue,or if i'm wrong somewhere,but my shield suddenly switched to 1080P wtf...

Well unfortunately there lies your dilemma. Your TV can't passthrough truehd atmos and your soundbar can't passthrough a 4k/HDR signal. You might get away with using a splitter that has multiple outputs to go from your shield to the tv and shield to the soundbar simultaneously, but I honestly wouldn't bother. Getting a soundbar to process an atmos signal is not worth all this trouble imho. Plug the shield into the TV and call it a day.

For a TV to be able to passthrough TrueHD Atmos lossless audio through HDMI, it needs e-ARC. That TV only has ARC (on HDMI input 2) and will be limited to at best passing through Dolby Digital+ Atmos lossy audio (those found in streaming apps).

For this to work, I had to use the .hevc generated with Yusesope's tool in Mode 1, then mux it with MP4Muxer in Profile 5, then put that into TSMuxer. Here are some MediaInfos. https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 534#p88534
