What is HDMI Audio Output "Expert Mode" exactly?

Have an XG1v4 connected to an AVR via HDMI.  In Device Settings > Audio > HDMI Audio Output there are 3 choices, Stereo, Auto Detect, and Expert Mode. 

 

Can someone please explain what Expert Mode is specifically?  It doesn't appear to do anything different to Auto Detect, passing DD 5.1.   What exactly should I see that's different?

I had already found that post in a search. Expert Mode doesn’t appear to enable Atmos. My AVR supports Atmos and using bitstream via eARC, I can decode Atmos from the Netflix app on my TV. On the Netflix app on the X1 DVR, just DD 5.1.

I was hoping for more detailed technical info, not a high level forum post.
