Re: Atmos playback from Apple Music
Discreet Atmos does 100% absolutely work on your Mac, you just have to jump through a couple hoops to get there.
I have Atmos playback from Apple Music on three different Mac's (M2 Macbook Pro, M1 MacBook Pro, Intel Mac Pro) with three different operating systems, and it's working flawlessly. However, instead of using Mac's native output or routing through Dante Virtual Soundcard, I use Loopback. Also, you'll want to stream in the highest quality, or the surrounds and height channels will sound awful. If you route through Loopback and you're still only getting 5.1 you need to close and reopen the Music app. |

Re: Atmos playback from Apple Music
You CAN play Dolby Atmos from your Mac as OG ScottyG pointed out.
Via Dante Virtual Sound Card. Apple Music app AppleTV app You could also play Atmos from HBOMax app until they switched over to MAX. Now there is no MAX desktop app(browser only). What a stupid decision by HBO |

The 16 channel thing is something specific to Apple Music that is required for it to output in Atmos, for some reason.

Re: Atmos playback from Apple Music
So the magic thing here is 16 output SINGLE interface? Two 2x6 interfaces is not enough for 7.1.4

Re: Atmos playback from Apple Music
I've wasted at least an hour with Loopback with the same results as others; Atmos plays back 5.1 only (with all surrounds folding into the sides) - I haven't tried the DVS solution yet, but I suppose that's next when I get a couple hours to bang on this again. Curious what your Loopback device looks like? 12 channel or 16? I tried it with 12 and got nowhere, but perhaps 16 has some magical property. Kinda crazy that it should be so hard...

Re: Atmos playback from Apple Music
I can't believe how hard it is to preview multi-channel audio in 2023. I've struggled with this to the point of pulling my hair out. I can get the Apple TV to shoot out 5.1 in my living room and that's fun to listen to, but moving over to the "professional studio" where you'd expect this to be easier it's actually a losing game. I've tried with a MacStudio and audio interface, and also with a MacMini connected to a 7.1 AV Processor. It seems like it going to work but I only hear 2.0.
FWIW, there are some great Atmos/5.1 remixes of classic albums on Apple Music. Also a lot of lazy ones where they used the stereo mix reverb added to the rears. |

Re: Atmos playback from Apple Music
I apologize if this is too obvious; I don't mean to offend, but also, be sure the Apple Music (or tv show) file you're watching is the actual Atmos version. For instance, there are quite a few versions of Rocket Man on Apple Music, only one of which is the Atmos mix. Also, several albums may say they're Atmos, but often times only one or two singles from the album are actually in Atmos. I usually test with Apple's Spatial Audio playlists.
