I agree, I have a similar challenge where on Android TV (Sony X80K) it appears my TV always transcodes TrueHD audio to AAC (which my sound bar confirms that this audio is no longer atmos although the source it, and a similar thing appears to happen when I use Kodi or VLC, transcoding to AAC rather than passing through) like you're mentioned and during the process this loses atmos. Is this intended? Just of note I have both bitstream audio settings selected.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as a force direct stream would be great because even the bitstream settings aren't working for me apparently.
EDIT: Starting to believe this may be an issue related to Sony TVs apparently because Atmos works fine on streaming services and is recognized by my soundbar however perhaps the passthrough on my Sony tv is not functioning properly
