Apple TV 4K Update Adds Surround Sound Support, Hack for Dolby Atmos

• Apple released iOS 27.2, tvOS 27.2, and HomePod Software 27.2 updates with support for four-speaker surround sound on the new Apple TV 4K.
• The setup for HomePod surround sound can be initiated on the Apple TV or via the Apple TV remote app on iPhone.
• A developer has created a hack to enable lossless Dolby Atmos soundtracks on the third-gen Apple TV 4K.
• The hack involves building the feature on a Mac using Native Player, which delivers similar audio but is not open source.
• The hack is proposed as an extension to the Nuvio media player.
