Apple Music (macOS) equalizer stops working after skipping songs

Same issue here (16" M1 Max MBP). Sound quality is outstanding for the first few songs, then it drops out and only closing and re-opening Apple Music resolves the problem. I've disabled sound enhancer, crossfade, Dolby, Lossless, and every other audio setting I can find. I've tried manually setting the equalizer type for my entire library. Nothing works.

Bumping this for visibility as I listen to music a lot during the day through my MBP, and this issue is driving me nuts.

I have the same issue, and I've noticed it takes around 10 skips to disengage the EQ. Tried booting into Safe Mode, didn't resolve anything. I tried adjusting sound enhancer and crossfade settings, also didn't do anything. Seems like a system issue, guess we have to wait for it to be resolved.

It is very annoying to quit apple music and open it again every time I want to skip some songs, especially when I shuffled a large playlist. Hopefully this bug gets resolved soon.

Literally same issue. I noticed also that if you leave Apple Music playing without touching anything it can work for a bit more than 10 tracks. I reached the record of 15 track without having problems with the EQ lol.

It's just unbelievable that no-one at Apple noticed this issue.

Apple is getting sloppy AF! Ever since Steve Jobs died, Apple's overall bug attention went down south...

Music on Mac is a sh*t show – crossfade doesn't work [unless you meet ALL ridiculous requirements including having to download almost ALL songs in the library to not have them in lossless quality which is insane given that it works absolutely flawless on iPhone no matter what song quality or setting!!!]

Re: the equalizer issue... it's easier to quickly disconnect/reconnect your external bluetooth speaker (if you're using one) – that also resolves the issue without canceling your current playlist selection and simply continues your music selection.

Which brings me to the next issue vs iPhone:

Why the **** does Music on MacOS do NOT pick up where you left off after a restart???? On iPhone it always keeps the last song/playlist/album played.

By now, I can only conclude that Apple doesn't give a flying hootenanny about any desktop device and their loyal desktop users anymore.........

I also am having this issue and it's driving me crazy.

I reported it via Apple Feedback.

Next time it happens to you, open Safari and type applefeedback://

This will launch/install the feedback app and you can create an issue and it will attach diagnostic data.

This is extremely frustrating.

By the way, I updated my mac to 14.5, the issue isn't resolved in this update, lol.

The frustration is across the board. This "glitch" is a known bug in Mac OS the last 4 releases. And to be honest, I don't think they're going to address it. It has something to do with the Lossless, Hi-Res, Dolby Atmos features. That's when I noticed this started. Only solution as previously stated, quit Apple Music & it'll kick back on (until it drops again). Downloaded eqMac as well.

Cheers.

Same here, the EQ does nothing on my Bluetooth speaker.

Tried setting all songs to custom EQ, it still doesn't work.

Finally ditched internal EQ and tried eqMac, it works flawlessly.

Installed eqMac, thank you for the recommendation.
