Is there any solution/workaround for Apple Music DRM issue with lossless music?

Depends on which version of macOS you are running, and which graphics card(s) you have installed as to whether it works or not.

You Coffee Lake system with the IGPU enabled (empty framebuffer) and RX570 alongside WhateverGreen.kext should have functional DRM playback using the shikigva=80 boot argument, using the iMac19,1 SMBIOS while running macOS Catalina.

Apple changed things in Big Sur.

Here is a link to the WhateverGreen.kext DRM information - https://github.com/acidanthera/WhateverGreen/blob/master/Manual/FAQ.Chart.md
 
So if I use
defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA gvaForceAMDKE -boolean yes
in terminal on 11.15.1 Big sur SMBIOS 19,1
will apple music lossless work?
 
By using on my SMBIOS 19,1 Big Sur 11.15.1

defaults write com.apple.AppleGVA gvaForceAMDKE -boolean yes

I am able to play apple lossless 24-bit 192kHz ALAC

Forgot to mention I am using
Shikigva=16
 
Hello,

Coud anybody please tell me if it could be able to play Apple Lossless on my NUCintosk ?
It actually doesn't work and I tried to read stuffs about that but it seems too complicated for me :oops:

I use Big Sur 11.6.2. All the tech stuffs must be in my signature, please ask me if anything is missing...
Thanks you !!!

I forgot : I used this installer to install Big Sur. It's based on OpenCore but I don't know which version.
the SMBIOS is a Macmini8,1.
