Ultra Box does support Dolby Atmos, but it's only available if the 4K UHD channel or On Demand content has it. As what I know today, they don't offer any Atmos content at the moment.
I remember previously during UEFA Euro 2020, they used to offer Dolby Atmos surround only on finals. After that, they pretty much went quiet about Dolby Atmos already.

For streaming apps on Ultra Box, only the Netflix app supports Dolby Atmos. (Reminder: Netflix Premium account required, the RM55/month version)
The rest of the streaming apps on Ultra/Ulti Box like Disney+ Hotstar is only available in Stereo.

I do aware that Ultra/Ulti Box tend to "fake" the audio output format as Dolby audio whenever you launch some other streaming apps, but they can't lie to my ears.  doh.gif

Did you connect HDMI cable from Ultra Box to your soundbar directly?
And what's the brand and model of your soundbar?

Oh, if it is connected to your TV first, then make sure the HDMI ARC audio output setting on your TV is set to DD+ rather than just DD.
