Rear speakers don’t work with Dolby atmos selected on Playstation 5

Product: EA SPORTS FC 24
Platform:PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
What is your Gamertag/PSN ID/Switch ID? Seake
Which mode has this happened in? Kick off
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Activate Dolby atmos on ps5 and try any mode.
What happens when the bug occurs? No sound comes out of rear speakers with Dolby atmos enabled on Playstation 5. This also happens on battlefield 2042 also so same problem happens in both games if this helps.
What should be happening instead? Should get 3d sound from Dolby atmos. I have to disable atmos and select regular dolby digital or lpcm for surround. The atmos works on other games and rear speakers do work.

‌

This happens on all modes

    @slug27 I have the same issue with NFS unbound. It seems that it's just the ea games. Every other games even if they don't support atmos, the rear speakers work in atmos mode.
    Please EA, patch the games

    It would be nice if EA could let us know if this is being looked into. I get that the Dolby atmos update is new on PS5 but still hope it will be fixed. I also tested some other EA games and pga tour golf and formula 1 2023 work well with atmos and rear speakers work on those games.

    @slug27 I have the same problem with Jedi Survivor on PS5. Although EA and Playstation advertise the game supports 3d immersive audio, when setting Dolby Atmos on PS5, I stop getting audio from rear surrounds speakers.

    This problem is also in the new UFC 5 game. Would be nice if it’s fixed as having to keep changing sound formats is annoying.

    @slug27 I am experiencing exactly the same issue as you. Have to switch to anything else than Dolby Atmos to get surround sound from my rear speakers.
