Why when I play music with dolby atmos its not working it stops at 15 seconds of the song?

I also have the same problem. I’ve tried reconnecting my AirPods, restarting my device and deleting / re-downloading all my music.

This works, thanks!!

Today 2 hours walk on 14.7.1 still the same ...

Some songs stopp after 2 seconds, others after 15 seconds

Guess the best option is to cancel Apple Music and use Qobuz ...

Why is my music stop playing exactly after 15 sec? The problem started after the latest iOS update

Yesterday I tried it again with Apple Music lossless songs and also on 14.7 they stopped after 15 seconds like before.

So Apple didn't change a Bit.

Guess it's an DRM problem, Apple or the Music Industrie don't like that we listen offline to lossless songs ...

It works if mobile data for Music is on.

Mabula_allen, Here is what I've posted on this thread and what has worked for me since. Have you tried these settings?:

Wow. What a coincidence! Been having the same issue (always with Shazam downloads) and got off of the phone yesterday with two Apple techs and went to the park today and my problem appears to be solved! I also noticed that my problem seemed to occur in my car a lot but then noticed that when I 'disconnected' my iPhone from my cars stereo ...the problem went away. At the park my settings were:

Dolby Atmos: Automatic

Audio Quality: Lossless Audio 'ON'

Wi-Fi Streaming: Lossless....>ALAC up to 24bit/48 kHz

Downloads: Lossless .......> ALAC up to 24 bit/48 kHz

Also....under Music....'Allow Music to Access'......> Cellular Data 'OFF' ('ON' , when it worked once/twice before , was on of my gripes...who wants to have to use data to play music).

And: AirPods Pro.....> 'Spatial' set to 'On'

Hopes this helps. Also found out from the techs that some songs, downloaded from Shazam or otherwise, might not play because Apple Music has lost/never had rights or the artist pulled the song.....so , just because Shazam says it has downloaded a song doesn't mean it'll play!!? ! When this happens you may get a dialog box stating : 'Cannot Open...This content is not authorized' . If you get a 'Connect to Wi-Fi or Cellular to Play Music' dialog it means you haven't used Apple Music for that Song or Playlist in a while and simple have to re-download. Preferably using your home Wi-Fi. This was a gripe of mine with AM years ago but one of the technicians told me it's been 'fixed' provide you have 'Synch Library ' on in Music settings. Time will tell on this but I've gone back to putting a monthly reminder on my calendar to 'Dnld. Apple Music'.

Hope this helps as many as possible.

I am past this issue now. I had maxed out my authorized devices and had to remove some (new iPhone) and now it works fine. I got a message stating this fact (this time).
