You can find Dolby Atmos songs in Apple Music recently. There are currently thousands of tracks that can be played in spatial audio via Apple Music. In addition, you can also stream Apple Music with lossless audio, where the songs can be listened to in a higher quality (with the necessary equipment). In various places on the internet, some listeners complain that songs with Dolby Atmos and lossless audio don't play well. If you also have problems with Dolby Atmos and lossless audio in Apple Music, you can try these tips.

Problems with Dolby Atmos in Apple Music

The problem is easy to summarize: with Dolby Atmos and lossless audio turned on, sometimes songs don't play beyond the first 15 seconds. Fortunately, it doesn't affect everyone, but there have been complaints on Reddit and in threads on Apple's support forum.

Possible solutions: try these tips

The bad news is that there doesn't seem to be a permanent solution at the moment. Still, you can try a few things that have worked for some users. There are relatively easy steps you can take to see if this solves this problem for you.

Hard Quit App

You can try forcibly closing the Music app to close. The problem seems to have been solved at least temporarily. In our tip you can read how to do that on the different devices.

Scroll past the first 15 seconds

To work around the problem, you can also scroll past the first fifteen seconds in the song. Ideal is different, because then you can't listen to your favorite music undisturbed. Moreover, there is no quick way to skip the first fifteen seconds.

Log out and in again

Another solution you can try is to log out of your account and log in again. Here's how:

  1. Go to Settings and tap your name at the top.
  2. Tap Media & Purchases and tap Sign Out.
  3. Then log in again with your account. You use your Apple ID email address and password.

Workaround: Disable Dolby Atmos and lossless audio

Finally, you can also temporarily disable Dolby Atmos and lossless audio. You then play the songs at the same quality as normal, so without the spatial audio and higher sound quality. You turn off Dolby Atmos and lossless audio via Settings > Music > Dolby Atmos/Audio Quality.
