Dolby, DTS and MPEG-H entries use HDMI passthrough. The AAC, FLAC, MP3, Vorbis, PCM/WAVE and Opus entries describe decoder input support. Their input sample rates, bit depths and channel counts do not establish output maxima.

Dolby Atmos
Yes1Maker product pagedeveloper.amazon.com/docs/device-specs/device-specifications-fire-tv-streaming-media-player.htmlRead 8 October 2026The maker explicitly claims Atmos over HDMI passthrough. The exact retail page also names E-AC3_JOC. Compatible content, application and external decoder are required. ComputerBild in June 2026 says Atmos is unavailable. It does not identify the tested carrier, application or audio equipment. The current maker claim takes precedence for the published passthrough capability.
