Playing Atmos movies and shows on Amazon Prime

I noticed that all the shows and movies that previously had the Atmos badge on Amazon Prime no longer displayed them. Called Amazon and found out I need to subscribe to Ad Free to get Atmos. Took care of that and now I see the Atmos badge on the titles. However when I play the content, I only get DD+ to the receiver. I played around with the Roku Ultra (I now have 4850R) Audio settings between Auto, Passthrough, Dolby, etc. But couldn't get it to work. I am sure I was able to stream Atmos previously but it may have been via Disney+ or Max. Any ideas on how to get Atmos to the receiver?
