HomePod mini and Visualiser on MacBook Air

When I'm using HomePod mini to play music from the MacBook Air and turn on the visualiser, the HomePod goes silent and I have to quit Music and restart.

Does anyone else have that happen?

Does anyone else use the Visualiser?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.2

HomePod mini and Dolby Atmos support Prior to iOS/HomePod software v 16 (iOS 15.x.x)I was able to play Dolby Atmos music from Apple Music on my HomePod mini (It would show the Dolby Atmos indicator below the song that was playing on my HomePod Mini). After updating to iOS 16 I am no longer getting the indicator for Dolby Atmos audio playback on my HomePod Mini… I have toggled all of the respective options on and off and no luck… I understand the HomePod mini doesn’t support spatial audio but as memory serves me Dolby Atmos was working albeit without the spatial audio functionality. Any thoughts? Did Apple quietly remove this feature and remove any mention of it in tech specs and KB articles?

I tested and the same thing happens. I tested on the new HomePods 2 as well, but they shut off and you have to quit music and restart. Maybe it’s not supported? I don’t know.
