    MBA M1 Spatial Audio Issues

    Just purchased a M1 Macbook Air to hopefully replace my aging iPad and Intel Macbook. One of the main reasons I wanted it is so I can get Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos running like on my iPad with my Airpods Max.

    Apple Music Not blown away by Dolby Atmos spatial audio

    This may or may not be a controversial post. After listening quite a bit on both my 2021 16" MacBook Pro & my new Apple AirPods 3, I find myself going into Apple Music preferences & turning Dolby Atmos off. Some songs sound good. There seem to be more songs though that don't sound that great...
