Apple Music, Lossless, Spatial Audio and DRM

[johnnytucats]

Is Lossless and/or Spatial Audio working for anyone?

My rig is running Big Sur with the onboard, Intel 4600 graphics so I'm pretty sure the DRM limitations that result from that are preventing either from working.

Would any Big Sur compatible graphics card be able to utilize these new features?

Thanks in advance.

Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one having issues with Lossless. It was driving me nuts and finally stumbled on the fact that maybe its a DRM issue.

I'm using RX580 for display and set i7 7700 iGPU as headless and still can't play anything lossless or spatial. Would explain some random skipping issues maybe.

Confirmed switching to iMacPro1,1 profile got Apple Music to play lossless but weirdly not Dolby Atmos.

You're seeing the lossless symbol in the now playing area (or whatever it's called)?

What graphics card?

Yes I am seeing the logo and can click on it to get sample and bit rate. Not every song that is supposed to be playing lossless is though. Sometimes whole albums won’t play lossless.

This is happening for me too...
