No, Microsoft and Dolby both refuse to help other than offer useless generic advice.

2018-10-19T09:36:48+00:00 I bought an Nvidea Shield to try to circumvent this issue and all of a sudden my HTPC started pushing out Atmos to my receiver. I decided I didn't need the Switch and sent it back and shortly after my HTPC stopped processing Atmos again. This whole thing is really annoying.

2018-10-20T15:26:56+00:00 I got the same problem. When I go into Spatial Sound settings, I can choose Dolby Atmos for Home Theater, and the app is installed, but when I go and press apply, it tells me "Something went wrong while trying to turn on spatial sounds" and reverts back to "off".
Please help.
