How did you get DTS-HD MA and DTS:X passthrough?

I just installed this tv over the weekend and I’ve been trying to get the two DTS formats to pass through. A little background: TV settings -> HDMI 3 and 4 are set to “Enhanced Format” on the tv, eARC mode is set to auto, Digital audio out is set to Auto 1, pass through mode is set to Auto. Ps5 settings -> audio output when playing blu rays is set to bitstream. My sound bar is the Samsung Q850A.

When I play Dolby content, it passes through fine: the ps5 displays that it’s sending Dolby TrueHD which is fine because it uses that as a container to Atmos, and the sound bar displays that it’s playing Atmos.

When playing DTS content, it doesn’t pass through properly: the ps5 displays that it’s sending plain old DTS, and nothing is displayed on the sound bar indicating DTS:X is being played.

When I connect my PS5 directly to the sound bar, both Dolby and DTS content play fine: the sound bar displays that it’s playing DTS:X or Atmos, and the PS5 says that it’s sending DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD respectively. This is why I suspect that either the TV doesn’t pass through anything higher than DTS in that category, or my settings are not right.

How did you manage to pass through DTS-HD MA and DTS:X?
