- The approval audio option will reach TVOS 26
- Is in the audio framework, but developers must use it
- It is expected that TVOS 26 is expected at the end of this year
Apple’s TVOS do not receive as much attention during WWDC as the best -selling products such as the iPhone, and that means that some days of the most interesting Apple TV news that emerge even beyond the five main functions of TVVOS 26 that you need to know. And that is the case this year, because there is an important audio change in TVOS that was not mentioned during the event.
Appleinsider informs that there is a new reference on the documentation of the Apple developer for Avfaudio that has a “pass” configuration. Avfaudio is Apple’s frame to reproduce, record and process audio in tvos, as well as iOS, macos and watchos.
Appleinsider apparently registered with Apple, and Apple has confirmed that yes, there will be a step in the update of TVOS. And that is a great change for serious audio equipment.
Why Hardcore Home Theater fans were looking for why Passthrough
When you use an Apple TV transmission application, whether Apple TV+, Netflix, Prime Video or any of the best transmission services, audio decoding and initial processing are handled by your Apple TV before being broadcast to your system, even if you have a really high -end home film hardware at the end of your HDMI, it has been left with the audio processed of Apple as your entrance.
Apple TV audio processing is really good: I often broke into a smile when there is a particularly impressive atmospheric action. But it is likely that the highest specification hardware is even better, so it is good to have the option to let the hardware drive 100% of the sound processing instead of leaving Apple.
This is not limited to Apple TV; The same frame manages the audio on iPhones, Macs and even Apple watches. But, of course, it is in the Apple TV where it is likely more amount, so it can pass the rough audio data to a fornid AV receptor.
For now, however, Passthrough is just one possibility: it can be in the frame, but it depends on the developers to implement it in their applications, or that Apple makes it select it in the Apple TV configuration; Until now, at least, the last option is not in the Beta developer of TVOS 26, but it may be the ideal final result.
