Sure.
Windows supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, so all you need is the source and the equipment, usually AVR, to enjoy it.
You need some software to play it with. Most software video players will bitstream it.

How To Decode and Play Dolby TrueHD Atmos on Windows and macOS
Yes, you read the title correctly. Here is a little background and all the information you'll need to decode and play lossless Dolby TrueHD with Atmos on a Windows or macOS computer, without the need for HDMI output. Housekeeping There are two codecs used with Dolby Atmos content. Lossy - Dolby D...

I'll have to have a try with Wine then!

Cavern looks super interesting, tks. Bypassing the avr has been, so far unsuccessfully, my final goal, or to use the avr as a multichannel analog amp
Of course. Just set your media player to bit-stream over HDMI, then your AV receiver will decode properly.
There is no way to properly decode Dolby TrueHD Atmos or DTS:X on a PC, has to be done with external hardware.

What happens when Cavern receives a TrueHD, etc, stream? No playback, or is there any sort of compatibility mode? I find most releases have a 5.1 compatibility track, but not all
Shows you an error that it's not supported.
All BluRays have a compatibility track by standard. It's simple 5.1 without objects though.

Hello, I would like to ask, is your software only available for 5.1.2? 7.1.2 or more channels not supported?
Supports everything up to the official maximum of 9.1.6. There is an advanced option for custom channels, up to the cinema maximum of 64.

But Windows only supports 8 channels?
There are ASIO sound card merge hacks for more. Not necessarily supported by players though.
Cavern looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your work @VoidX!
A very basic question: with Cavern, is it possible to upmix stereo sound to Atmos in realtime, like an AVR does? My goal would be to connect a Focusrite 18i20 to my pc, and add a Behringer ADA8200 through ADAT. The line outs of these two devices will feed a 7.1.4 setup of active speakers. Now, with Cavern, can I watch a video on youtube on my Windows pc, and have it play back in Atmos on my 7.1.4 setup?
Normally I would need an AVR with an upmixer to do that. If Cavern can upmix live that would be awesome and save me the money for a true 7.1.4 AVR.

If you really want to create 12 channels from 2, yes, it's possible, but it's really-really far from even a 5.1.
Great. It's the only task I would have needed an AVR for. Upmixing a stereo signal to Atmos 7.1.4. Currently I am upmixing to 5.1.2 with a Sony STR-DH790. Especially the Neural:X upmixer works well in my setup. Going to 7.1.4 now and hoping to get rid of the avr. Cavern looks great for that. But I will have to see how well the upmixing work in my setup.
It could be a little hard to set up (Cavern Splitter), but it's just wiring stuff around in Equalizer APO, there's a sample file for 5.1.2.
@VoidX can you say something about the upmixing process in Cavern as compared to the upmixers in av receivers? Will it be comparable qualitywise, or can avrs upmixers do things that Cavern can't? I could get a good deal on a Denon x3700h, and I am contemplating whether I really need it or whether Cavern has all the functions that I need.
