The latest application update allows owners of theAppleTV to enjoy spatial audio, but removed support for Android TV devices.
This update to the Disney+ streaming service will make Android TV box owners cringe.
Spatial audio now compatible with Disney+ on tvOS
The big-eared studio has been offering an update to its application for a few days, numbered 2.9.5, both on Android TV and on tvOS, the operating system of Apple TV 4K.
They were pleasantly surprised to see that Dolby Atmos support is now operational from Apple’s small TV box through the manufacturer’s spatial audio system.
In concrete terms, it is now possible to connect your AirPods 2, AirPods 3 or even your AirPods Pro or AirPods Max to your TV box and enjoy spatialized sound in films offered in Dolby Atmos format. Until then, Dolby Atmos tracks were only offered in 5.1 when connecting headphones or headphones to Apple TV, due to a limitation of the video player used by Disney through its application.
Head tracking allows the effects to lock in on your movement on the couch and provides a more immersive experience than through your TV speakers alone.
A bug would have removed Dolby Atmos from Android TV devices
If the users of Apple products will be happy, the owners of devices or televisions under Android TV are likely to look gray. This update has indeed removed support for Dolby Atmos on a large number of devices, such as Sony televisions but also on the NVIDIA Shield or Google Chromecast.
Impossible to find for the moment an explanation for this withdrawal, even if the track of the bug remains privileged. Several users also indicate that Dolby Atmos is working again at home, possibly thanks to an update made on the server side.
Until Disney releases a new version of the app that fixes this problem, Android users can retrieve Disney+ version 2.8.0 from the web and reinstall it on their devices while waiting for everything to go back to normal. order.

- Disney classics in one place
- Exclusive Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars series
- A very attractive price
It was highly anticipated and did not disappoint. Disney+ is not a Netflix rival but a complementary offer, geared particularly towards children and more broadly towards the family. The Star universe, meanwhile, remains the poor relation of the platform and will require several years of work to catch up with its competitors.
