Thank you, sorry I actually just meant straight 5.1. Tried this morning and same as @humprof I was initially only getting stereo but my receiver showed 6 speakers engaged. I read further on about the "Atmos always on" issue, turned that to Auto and I'm getting 5.1! Thanks everyone this is so exciting! No need for an ATV now!I do 5.1.2 atmos from MacBook -> multichannel DAC via USB. Mac -> multichannel audio interface via USB seems to work too.
Whether atmos from MacBook -> HDMI -> AVR works or not seems less clear according to @humprof above.
@humprof - What are the settings>Video>HDMI setup on the Marantz SR6014?
Which video output are you using? Is the monitor powered on? There may be some handshaking between the PC, Marantz, and the monitor that may be a problem?
Thanks; without having much technical knowledge, I'm also thinking, vaguely, that there must be some kind of a handshake issue here. But like @sjcorne, I'm also thinking that if there were only an AC-3 passthrough option, that would largely resolve things. We know that Midi AUDIO Setup has a 5.1.2 Atmos option (and, pre-OS 12.4, that it had a 7.1.4 Atmos option; I've seen screenshots from other people's setups)--even though, on my system, anyway, the speaker test folds signals meant for the overheads into the left and right surrounds. (Which is also suspicious: if Core Audio can natively handle Atmos, then why isn't it correctly detecting my AVR's Atmos capability and routing the signals accordingly?) So if the Apple Music software is indeed decoding the Atmos signal rather than passing it through, then how and why is it miscommunicating that signal to the AVR?
To answer your questions: in the Apple Music settings, I've tried both the "Better" and "Best" video output. And I've tried things with the monitor (an old, 1080p 24" Samsung) both on and off. On the Marantz, the Video>HDMI Setup settings are as follows:
- HDMI Audio Out: AVR
- HDMI Pass Through: On
- --Pass Through Source: Chromecast (I've tried switching it to both "Media Player," which is what I've named my laptop input, and "Last"; no difference)
- --RC Source Select: Power On + Source
- HDMI Control: Off
- --ARC: Off
hmm - I wonder if the monitor is blocking the signal somehow. I don't know, but maybe a HDCP 2.2 connection is required?
What about if you disconnect the monitor out cable and any associated settings?
Yep, but you can always use the web interface to change settings.Wouldn't hurt to try, I suppose--although as I say, I currently get the same results whether the monitor is on or off. (And I don't have any problem with Atmos playback when streaming Apple Music from my ATV4K--or, when an Atmos soundtrack is available, from streaming video services via Fire Stick or ATV4K.) Of course, without a monitor connected, it's extremely difficult to change settings on the Marantz. . . .
Has anyone gotten atmos in safari to work? (I think that I periodically ask this question in hopes of getting a different answer)

Now I'm debating whether to keep the AirPods Pro that I bought on sale (also at Costco) as a gift, but the giftee didn't want. . . .

i say keep 'em! they're not half bad!
Just upgraded to Monterey on my 2017 iMac and lost the 5.1 playback from display port HDMI to my AVR.If you are getting stereo/binaural then it seems that the Music app needs to be set to Auto on the Dolby Atmos dropdown menu. If it is set to Always On, people are reporting that they get binaural and not Atmos.Indeed: I had set Atmos to "Always On," and I was getting stereo playback only (even though my AVR read the incoming signal from the MacBook as "Multi-Channel"--not Atmos). When I switch the setting to "Auto," I finally get 5.1 playback, whereas before I was only getting 2.0.
And it works? I don't think that I have never gotten any other streaming service to do atmos in a browser.Has anyone gotten atmos in safari to work? (I think that I periodically ask this question in hopes of getting a different answer)

I assume you are talking about playing music.My mobile phone provider has just given me six months apple tv for free YAY, BUT it seems that it’s useless without an apple tv 4k, the other alternative is buying apple airpods to listen (atmos in headphones…really), has anyone found a way to play it in atmos without buying expensive stuff i don’t want or need? I have a perfectly good atmos home theatre system
You can download the Apple TV app on devices like Roku, I’m unsure if it streams stuff in Atmos as I don’t have the capability but it probably does 5.1.My mobile phone provider has just given me six months apple tv for free YAY, BUT it seems that it’s useless without an apple tv 4k, the other alternative is buying apple airpods to listen (atmos in headphones…really), has anyone found a way to play it in atmos without buying expensive stuff i don’t want or need?

Sorry, my mistake, it’s apple music i’ve gotI assume you are talking about playing music.
Six free months of Apple TV is only TV. Apple music is a separate subscription. But there are devices other than an Apple 4k box that can play Apple TV. I play it on a 4k firestick. It cannot play Apple music however. AFAIK Apple music in surround is only available with an Apple TV box. You might as well take advantage on the Apple TV offer though.
