Apple Music recently activated the special audio through Dolby Atmos and the audio without loss of quality.Both improvements come without addition.

Both characteristics have aroused many doubts and questions, especially in relation to the surround sound of the songs that support it.What headphones can you hear?Is an amplifier necessary to activate it?Does it only work with Apple accessories?

These are all the options you have to listen to the space audio with Dolby Atmos in Apple Music.On an iPhone or iPad, you must first activate it following the following steps:

1. Asegúrate que el dispositivo esté actualizado a iOS 14.6 o iPadOS 14.6
2. Ir a Ajustes → Música
3. En el menú Audio, ir a Dolby Atmos
4. Elegir Automático, mostrar siempre o desactivado

Depending on the way you usually listen to music, the appropriate configuration is automatic or always show.

If you want to listen to Apple Music with space audio at Dolby Atmos on Apple devices

If from your iPhone or iPad you listen to music with AirPods or other Apple devices, choose "automatic".This is the list of accessories that are automatically supported:

From now on, when a song has a version in Dolby Atmos, Apple Music will automatically activate it when you use headphones or speakers mentioned above.Otherwise, the standard version (stereo or monkey) is heard.

If you want to listen to Apple Music with space audio in Dolby Atmos on other devices

If you want to listen to Apple Music with space audio with Dolby Atmos with other devices, then you must choose "always show" in your iPhone music settings.

This will activate the surround sound whenever it is available and it is in your opinion to know if you are listening to it in speakers or headphones that support it properly.

This is a double-edged sword.On the one hand, there are sound systems where it will be heard well, very good.But in many cases not.There are dozens of examples, the most likely:

1. Un dispositivo o accesorio de baja calidad donde la mezcla Atmos se escuche mucho peor que la versión estándar en estéreo o mono.
2. Reproducir canciones en altavoces donde ya hay activo algún tipo de sistema de sonido envolvente. En muchos casos, con muchas canciones, se escuchará mucho peor. Con un efecto de eco que empeora, más que ayudar.

Apple Music does not seem to have a simple way to activate or deactivate Dolby Atmos from the music playback window.In addition, in the case of not using Apple devices, the surround sound from the bar can not be activated or deactivated to raise or lower the volume in the iPhone or iPad control center.
