Apple Music - Dolby Atmos - Spatial Audio makes a significant difference?

[Scottm]

Wanted to see how many others have noticed a SIGNIFICANTE difference when using Apple Music or since the latest update with their sound. Personally I cannot go above a sound level 5 before it becomes too ear piercing..

Then I found out, NOTHING is coming through any of my other speakers except for the dash center channel. I've tried changing to bluetooth and Spatial Audio on and off, 3D enhanced sound etc...

Bluetooth is a bit better, but music from Apple Music and Atmos is brutal. The back ground instruments and vocals are all weird and most of the time you can't even hear them. It's like just the main instruments are firing all over top of each other off the windshield right into your face.

Anyhow notice anything strange?

This is what I noticed at first after the update but an infotainment reset fixed it so that it was much more balanced and not so forward biased. Before the reset I wasn’t getting anything out of the ceiling speakers at all.

Definitely do an infotainment reset and you might need to do full car reset. This has always fixed any missing speaker issues for me, especially after this last update.
