Enable spatial audio for MacOS Deezer App


Hello,

 

Could you please enable spatial audio on MacOS (M1 chips) when using AirPods Pro & Max ?

This is clearly a dealbreaker for now ! It’s working on iPadOS and Safari on Mac, but not with the App :(

 

Thanks a lot !

Hey there, @Kallistos 

there is going to be a big rework of our webversion and desktop app, 

but until that time there won’t be any fix on the desktop app. 

Sorry about that!

Hi, @Yula 

Thanks for your feedback.

From my side, I would like to add that Spatial Audio is the most the sound related feature and its impact on Apple users is huge. All new Apple laptops comes with the Apple Silicon chip (M1, M2), and setting the low priority for Spatial Audio doesn’t make a good reputation for Deezer App.

 

Deezer already have one of the best sound quality on the market and I switched to Deezer Hi-Fi from Spotify due to the better sound.

 

Sad to her from you that the sound itself is not the priority for the Deezer any more...

That’s great to hear that the web and desktop apps will be reworked. Any idea if that will specifically include an ‘M’ series version @Yula ? As @jirikovoego said, I’m sure a lot of the community would love to help test the new versions when needed 🤓

Sorry but I don’t have any more details, for now this is just a project. 

As we know more we will keep you updated!

Just to let you know – not an ideal solution but spatial audio is available while using Deezer web version via Safari.

Hello @immortalez,

 

Yes I was aware of that but it’s really not ideal. I’m travelling a lot and I need to download music when coding :) 

I’m considering a change for Apple Music in that matter …

Hello!

I beg to differ. Spatial Audio (Apple’s moniker for Dolby Atmos 3D sound) is currently not available from Deezer even with HIFI on all devices. Neither iPhone, iPad, Mac (web or app) will output multichannel audio as of right now.

Best,

Roman

I would be interested in this development also. How can I follow the progress?


Any update to Atmos coming for Deezer HIFI? I am really looking forward to hearing that sound especially from the lossless streaming that Deezer offers. Thank you.

It is a hit & miss depending on how it’s been mixed. But some artists like Fleetwood Mac’s Rumors is a delight with Dolby atmos.

@Mark Strauss i can’t confirm any ETA for Atmos at the moment I am afraid. But as soon as I hear from our devs if that’s in their 2024 roadmap I’ll let you know.
Thanks for your patience and support

@Jaime.Deezer @Yula 

are there any news about this ?

was the big rework the purple switch? Or is there something more technical still coming?
