4K HDR Titles in K Store Missing Immersive Audio (Dolby Atmos/DTS:X)

Thanks Kostas. I knew Universal was not updating much. But I didn’t realize Fox was doing so well on the updates. This is a really good to know.

Would like to see K update the audio on My Fair Lady. The HD version is 7.1 and the HDR one is 5.1. The 4K HDR disc is 7.1 but also 96/16, so higher resolution.
 
Hi John,

True for older Universal 4K titles, unfortunately. The only updates I remember are “1917” and “Hobbs and Shaw”.

Re Fox, I own most of their older releases and they have all been updated to Atmos. Comparing with the list from post 1, only “Independence Day:20th Anniversary Edition” is missing the DTS:X track.
However, 4K releases on disc with the DTS-HD MA 7.1 track are still with the 5.1 in the K store, no upgrade there. No big deal for me though as I use the Altitude’s DSU.
I went back through my collection of 20th Century (Fox) titles and titles with Dolby Atmos on Disc have Atmos in my collection! Thanks for pointing this out so I could verify. Now just to get the rest of Universal updated.

Us is new, from 2019, how come we still see this issue? HD version has atmos the 4k version 5.1...


 
If you go to the movie store and Browse All, under Audio Quality you can filter by DTS:X

@Rasalom Yes, but the issue lies with which version of the movie has which audio track available. DTS:X may be an option for say an HD version, but the HDR version may only have DTS-HD MA. The link above for Atmos actually lists which version of a movie has which audio track.

On the Store web site, you can search for this and then sort by video (HDR Only?) in order to get titles that are in DTS:X.

No, that would show movies that have both HDR and DTS:X. But it may be HDR with DTS-HD MA and HD with DTS:X

You're right. I was thinking of Jurassic World Dominion, that shows up with DTS:X, but it only has it for HD, not for HDR... But with your filters, it actually is filtered out... Good to know
