Just received my new Aura box and, so far, very pleased with it. However, I've connected it directly to my Denon AVR via HDMI and set the audio on the Aura to "Audio Output Home Cinema 7.1 etc" but am not getting ATMOS audio when playing back UHD/4K films from the external USB stick.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what audio setting I may have overlooked?
Thanks

How are you playing the content from the USB stick?
Using VLC media player downloaded to the Humax

Using VLC media player downloaded to the Humax
Have you done anything with VLC settings? A couple of suggestions found with google:
Preferences / all / detect Dolby "active" / Dolby surround
or
Preferences / all / Audio / Force detection of Dolby Surround / On
Please let us know if they help.
I checked the VLC settings and it was set to "digital audio passthrough". But having just gone back into the Humax settings I thought I'd switch the audio setting "Home Cinema via HDMI" to "Optical or HDMI Arc" and hey presto, I now have ATMOS playback from the films on the USB stick! Not sure why that setting works, I presumed the Home Cinema would be the obvious setting, evidently not!
Thanks for your help.

Well done.
Thanks for your help.
I don't think I did help other than prompt you to dig around settings.
