Apple Music- Certain songs going mute a few seconds into the song, Dolby Atmos Insanely quiet

Apple Music is insanely glitchy, especially on Windows 11.


Two of the biggest issues:


1.) Dolby Atmos making music super quiet (only on windows)


-Yes, I have tried turning it off, and yes I have already tried the other features like automatic volume adjustment. It makes is considerably quieter, so I have to crank everything on max, and when a non-Dolby Atmos song comes on, it gets dangerously loud.


2.) Music going mute after a few seconds (only specific songs)


-Only way to fix this is to skip a few seconds into the song, if you skip too early, it will continue being mute. (progress bar for song continues, but no audio is being played)


For clarification: This is a well known issue that Apple does not care to fix apparently, no fixes as of 2025 and this has been on going for years, probably since Apple Music came out. Restarts, re signing in, reinstallations, clearing cache, diff audio settings, etc. all don't change anything. I've even tried other audio drivers and audio devices. Most songs work, 1/5 of them just pause or are super quiet due to Dolby Atmos. Other music platforms work flawlessly, I just like the extra ease of access between devices, I am fully into the Apple atmosphere, I have their watches, headphones (a couple diff kinds), Phones, Macs, Keyboards, etc. etc.


First time I'm on this forum, the operating system and software quality has gone so far down since I got into it. Sad, but looks like I may be making the switch soon.


I've had tons of other glitches and problems, but this one is unbearable as I am a huge music fan, so here I am in forums.


Let me know if there is a fix for this... or if anyone else is experiences these issues in the big 25', half way to 26'...


If it changes anything, I am on a family plan.
