In this guide, we'll show you how to set up Atmos listening on Apple Music using your Orion 32+ Gen4 or Galaxy 32. If your audio interface has more than 12 outputs, follow these steps to ensure Apple Music recognizes it for Atmos playback.
Step 1: Download Virtual Audio Routing Software
If your audio interface has more than 12 outputs, Apple Music and Apple TV won’t recognize it as an Atmos output device. To fix this, download and install a virtual audio routing software like Rogue Amoeba’s Loopback or Ginger Audio’s Ground Control Sphere. These tools help create a virtual device with only 12 channels.
Step 2: Install and Configure the Virtual Device
After downloading the software:
⦁ Install it on your computer.
⦁ Configure it to create a virtual audio device that channels your audio interface’s outputs down to 12 channels. This ensures proper recognition and routing by Apple Music.
Step 3: Route the Audio
Use the virtual device to route audio from Apple Music to your audio interface. Configure the routing settings to ensure that the audio signal is passed seamlessly to your interface without any loss of quality.
Step 4: Test and Adjust
Test the setup to confirm that Atmos audio from Apple Music is being transmitted correctly to your audio interface. Adjust the settings as needed to optimize audio quality.
Step 5: Enjoy Atmos Listening
With everything set up, you’re ready to enjoy Atmos listening on Apple Music! Explore your favorite tracks in a whole new dimension of immersive sound.
