I just got my new MBP unboxed and am a little curious what other peoples take is on using the built in speakers with ATMOS for Apple Music? To me when I turn it on the tracks that have it enabled are appreciably quieter than when its turned off, and the dialog is much more distant. Is this just how the effect comes across with the built ins or do I have something else "wrong" going on? TYIA!
 
This is my takeaway as well, so on my MBP I keep it turned off.
Ok cool. My paranoid side got a little nervous because when installing SoundSource on the new computer I had some music playing during the process and the audio cut out for a few seconds then the speakers popped and the audio came back so I wanted to make sure I didn't like damage anything or screw something up. Figure that's unlikely considering music without Atmos on sounds generally decent and if there was a actually speaker problem it would be quite obvious...?
