Apple Music App No Longer Works with Elgato Wave Link After Recent Update

Since the recent update to the Apple Music app, I’ve encountered a major issue that disrupts my audio workflow. I use Elgato’s Wave Link software to create and manage multiple audio channels, which I control using my Stream Decks. This setup allows me to adjust the volume of individual sources, such as Apple Music, specific games, or voice chat, independently.


Unfortunately, after the update, Apple Music completely stops functioning when Elgato Wave Link is installed. It seems that the update introduced changes that prevent the app from cooperating with third-party audio management software. This has made it impossible for me to maintain my usual workflow, which is crucial for my setup.


Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any tips or fixes would be greatly appreciated, as this incompatibility has become a significant inconvenience!

Windows, Windows 11 (22631)

Dang it's still broken for me, even after having to recently uninstall and reinstall Apple Music due to a different issue no matter how I tell Apple Music to route thru my Music channel in Elgato Wave Link it will still only play thru whatever I have my system audio playing thru.
