No surround sound when atmos is enabled. (alien.top)

I have downloaded the surround sound test app. When using atmos I only get stereo, when forcing it to Dolby 5.1 it works. I have no idea why. I am using a Sony STR-DH590 as my receiver. I have it set to direct.

Is there something I am missing?

I am using Arc. When I said it to Dolby 5.1 on the appleTV it works and uses surround sound. Is there a better way to hook it up other than ark?

Dolby Digital 5.1 works over ARC. Since you only have a 5.1 AVR that does not support Atmos using Dolby Digital 5.1 over ARC is fine.
