1 try listening to the middle channel of the soundbar, or any other non-stereo speakers on the soundbar, such as height, and surround.
If those areas of the speaker are making noise, then you're at least not playing in basic 2.1 "stereo"

2. If you are playing audio content from a galaxy device, or Spotify, try switching on/off Dolby Atmos and listening for a difference.

If you only hear one channel it’s not Dolby atmos, there are a lot of factors to get Dolby atmos and no one will tell you- you have to have the right cables- HDMI 2.2 not any hdmi cable- the tv must have cert for Dolby atmos also- you can do pass through to get around that. If you are using optical cable the max is 5.1 SS not Dolby atmos. The music or movie must be in Dolby Atmos. if you really want answers you must tell us your system first

I can hear audio from the center. Just wish it had a small screen on it. To tell you what it's playing in. For the price of it. They should of put one on it.

The soundbar says it in the digital window for a few seconds at start also if you click on info it will say. Keep in mind to use SmartThings app with Samsung account and register, you can control it better.
