Ok guys, I connected with Apple support and tell them what happened and we solve the problem! First I downloaded a song with Dolby Atmos. Then it starts to play normally. And after that the other songs starts to play too. You just need to download one song.

I have tried everything. On the way to work it was happening. At work with wifi it does not. This is so frustrating. I saw solutions like log out of iCloud and back or log in and out of Apple Music. Both are a pain and it keeps coming back. Apple should be ashamed of not quickly addressing this issue with a permanent fix. They advertise this feature and it does not work properly is quite the black eye!!! Very frustrating! Give your customer a gift that doe not work properly is pretty bad!!

I am also having the same constant issues with some of my songs downloaded in Dolby Atmos or even Lossless Audio just randomly stopping at 15 seconds.


I have also noticed that my music sounds noticeably a lot quieter through my AirPods Pro when streaming in Dolby Atmos but louder when streaming in Lossless audio or regular AAC format.


Spatial audio as well only seems to work through my AirPods when I’m watching music videos, but not when streaming albums or singles that are available in Spatial audio with Dolby Atmos.


I have tried deleting and re-downloading my songs and it doesn’t seem to work 😕

Tried to listen on my MacBP from their (Apple) Spatial selection (email advert sent to me from them)...don't usually listen from the laptop but noticed on several of the songs:

  1. Nothing would play for at least 15-20 secs.
  2. VERY LOUD Click/Pop from one of my laptop speakers when the song started!!!! Volume was set to low at the time.

Because of 2. above will not continue this 'test'. But: downloaded , via Shazam, one of the songs and will see what happens when I'm outdoors and away from any wi-fi. Don't know why Apple just won't put a a simple notice detailing EXACTLY which settings for iPhone/Airpods and AirPods Pro should be for its users.
