Owning a 2019 75” Q70R, the Sonos ARC works for me. When using apps such as VUDU where 4K content w/Atmos is stored, the Atmos symbol is displayed on the info screen. You need to go into sound settings of the tv and select the Sonos ARC which shows up as Reciever (HDMI). This is provided you have the Sonos ARC powered and wired in using the HDMI ARC jack of your TV or in the case of some newer sets, the HDMI E-ARC. That is all you have to do to make it work from your TV. Afterwards set up the Sonos ARC using the new Sonos app and your good to go. I did not choose my my TV knowing the Sonos was going to be added but it just so happens to tuck in perfectly between the feet. The sound is great coming from the sound bar but we utilize the The Gen 3 sub and a pair of Sonos 1s for extra bass and surround channels.

I would recommend:

This is indeed an issue, I have the q80 series Samsung tv. It does not support eARC . The q90 does not either. So I bought a 2019 model Sony which does. The Sony also has Dolby atmos pass thru on all 4 hdmi channels. The Sonos Arc sounds amazing. The most immersive soundbar I’ve ever owned, in fact the best tv audio system I’ve ever owned. That comes with a caviate. Although the arc sounds great alone, you really need the rear speakers and the sub to really get immersed into scenes. When you do be prepared for a sensory ride, it’s absolutely amazing.

Sonos Customer Care · Answer

If your television supports ARC and eARC you are able to hear Dolby Atmos as long as the source is outputting Dolby Atmos and your source is connected to the appropriate input on your television.

Check your TV's manual....it will tell you if the HDMI ports support eARC

Rich · Answer

The Sonos Arc is designed to deliver Dolby Atmos sound as long as your TV has either an Arc or eArc HDMI connection. But there's a difference. If a TV has Arc, Dolby Atmos is sent via lossy Dolby Digital Plus. If your TV supports eArc, the Atmos is sent via Dolby True HD, which is lossless. My Sonos Arc is hooked up to a 2017 LG OLED, which only has the older ARC. So my Atmos is lossy. Still sounds great, especially paired with my Sonos One SL rears and the Sonos Sub.
