When listening through my wired headphones I definitely want Dolby Atmos when watch a movie or TV show, for instance through Apple TV+ or HBO Max or Disney+ etc. But listening through my wired headphones I rather listen to Lossless music. I have Apple Music on my iMac set to Dolby Atmos --> Automatic, so that it's Dolby Atmos when I'm using my AirPods Pros, but Lossless when listening using my wired headphones.

Making sure: If I set Dolby Atmos --> "Always On" on Apple Music on iMac, it will play and prioritize Dolby Atmos on a song that offers both Lossless and Dolby Atmos, correct? I only want Dolby Atmos if I'm using AirPods Pros and I want Lossless when using wired headphones, thus Dolby Atmos --> "Automatic" is the setting I want, correct?

How do I set it up so that it's Dolby Atmos when I watching movies and TV shows? The preference settings in Apple Music have nothing to do with watching movies and TV shows on other services such as Apple TV+, Disney+, etc.
