Apple Music Audio Low I'm trying to figure out Apple Music today. When I play on my mac, the audio level is extremely low. Audio works fine if I open a browser and play something on YouTube, so I'm pretty sure my speakers are OK, and the basic audio settings of the computer are OK. It seems to be an issue with the Apple Music app. Is there some way to get Apple Music app to play songs at a normal volume?

Dolby Atmos music quieter than non-Atmos songs With the recent Dolby Atmos update on Windows, I tried listening to Dolby Atmos songs. I have a playlist of songs that contains Dolby Atmos songs as well as non-Atmos, lossless songs. Usually, I have my Apple Music volume at ~50%, but when I listen to Dolby Atmos songs, I have to set the volume to 100% to get a similar loudness as a non-Atmos song at 50%. This is not ideal because at 100%, non-Atmos songs are way too loud and I have to turn the volume back down for those. I have tried listening with Sound Check on and off, and the loudness issue persists either way. Another strange quirk is that the audio has the correct loudness for a moment (less than a second) when starting the song or skipping forward, but then the loudness lowers again and stays there. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? I'm on Windows 11 24h2, Apple Music 1.5.4.79.

Music sounds quiet compared to Spotify Why does the music sound louder when you hold the max volume in sing along. Overall I experience that the volume is not loud compared to Spotify. I have sound check off, the eq is on late night and use loseless audio.
