No audio output from dolby renderer in Cubase 15

[Robert_Kwasniak_Mr]

After saving a Dolby Atmos project in Cubase 15 and re-opening, there’s no audio output from the dolby renderer. If I uninstall the dolby plugin and then reinstall, audio output goes back to normal. Each time I reopen the project the same thing happens.

Are you running on Windows?

I think this is broken in C15 just the same as it is broken in C14.0.40. Currently the last version that will work well with the Dolby Atmos renderer is 14.0.32.
I assume Steinberg will fix this with a maintenance release.

Yes, Windows 11

As @Johnny_Moneto says, Atmos funtionality got broken with the 14.0.40 update and it seems to have carried through to 15.0.5.

Important Information for Dolby Atmos Users (Windows only)

Dear forum members, Unfortunately, we have identified an issue in Nuendo 14.0.40 (Windows only) that may affect the stability of Dolby Atmos projects under certain conditions. To ensure the best experience and reliability we recommend rolling back to Nuendo 14.0.32, if you work with Dolby Atmos projects. We are actively working on a solution and will provide an update as soon as this issue has been resolved. In the meantime, you can download all previous Nuendo 14 installers, including version…

I’m having the same issue with Cubase. I notice that post mentions Nuendo rather than Cubase.

That’s because Nuendo users were discussing it in the Nuendo forum. The same issue applies to Cubase.
