(Resolved)Dolby Atmos has gotten worse after One Ui 4.0 update

[ShahabR]

****This issue has been fixed with the February 2022 security update.****

I have noticed a significant difference in the dolby atmos sound quality after the new software update. Prior to the update the dolby atmos was excellent at equalizing any music that I played, but now it seems like enabling dolby atmos just make the audio quality worse and also it just adds a ton of reverb. I hope this is fixed in the upcoming updates. I am using my buds live to test the audio and also I have LDAC headphones to make sure that I am receiving the highest quality audio possible. I have tested tidal hifi , and spotify premium.

Are you using Adapt Sound? 

For me the audio is fine using Jabra Elite Active 75t.

HI ShahabR, Do you see any difference even after enabling UHQ upscaler feature if it is available on the device?

[ShahabR]

UHQ upscaler only works on wired headphones
