Mac OS music app equalizer not working

Since my upgrade to Catalina, the Equalizer in the Music app does not work as expected. Equalization settings are only activated:

  • after you have started playing a song, then
  • manually select a pre-set (or manual) equalization setting.

After the song is over, and a new one starts playing, the equalization is once again disabled. I've had this happen on many different tracks, using many different settings in the EQ window. I've submitted a ticket through Apple's Developer website, but so far no response. Anyone out there have the same issue/have a solution?

Mac mini 2018 or later

Apple finally fixed the issues!


Music


  • Restores the column browser view for managing the music library
  • Resolves an issue that may prevent album artwork from appearing
  • Fixes an issue that may reset music equalizer settings during playback


iTunes Remote


  • Adds support for using an iPhone or iPad to remotely control the Music and TV apps on a Mac


Happy playing everyone!

I know this problem is not an equaliser issue, but I am unable to see the album artwork displayed on the TV when playing my music through Apple TV 3rd gen. This always worked before the Catalina release. All artwork is displayed on the Mac in the Music app ok. Sorry to post this here, but just hoping someone has a fix for this. I have already posted this separately and no response as yet. Thanks!!
