Dark Side of the Moon--one song (Brain Damage) not playing in ATMOS

Listening to the new Dark Side on Apple TV 4K and Onkyo AVR. All of the tracks play in ATMOS except Brain Damage. My AVR switches from ATMOS to Dolby Surround when Brain Damage starts, then goes back to ATMOS for Eclipse.


I don't have any other device to test this on, but it seems to me that if all the other tracks play in ATMOS, it must be a problem with the music file on Apple's end. Any ideas?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

Thanks for your reply, I appreciate the suggestion. What ended up working for me was removing the album from my library and then re-adding it. I had added the song to my library when it was released (the day before the full album was available)so I guess it must have had something to do with that.
