    Hey. 

    I had the same problem and it turn out the fix is really easy. 

    Go to your windows All Setting on Notification bar then click Ease of Access and go to Audio 

    From there make sure that mono audio is turned off. 

    Hope this helps.

    I did a windows reset, like a re-install.  It worked with fresh install.  But once I installed programs and after a couple of days it broke again.  Can only get option for 5.1, 7.1, and stereo.  When it works its great.  Have atmos speakers and Onkyo 9.2 receiver.  I'm thinking it's a background software issue?  Or a windows error.

    Have the dolby app from windows store.  Installed and spatial sound did work with atmos serting.  Now however i get a windows error message that format not supported.  I forget the exact verbiage but its posted in the beginning of the thread.   

    Hdmi 18gbps cable going to receiver, onkyo, thats 4k compliant.  From receiver to LG 4k C8 TV.

    overwatch works great with atmos, about the only game now that i’ve run that supports it.  Sadly its broken now.  Microsoft, please fix this.
