In addition to removing the iTunes Movies and TV Shows apps from Apple TV, tvOS 26.4 includes a new setting for Continuous Audio Connection.
It eliminates audio dropouts or “popping” noises when switching between different audio formats. It wraps all audio, including 2-channel stereo, in a Dolby MAT container to maintain a consistent connection with your sound system. And it specifically resolves issues where 5.1-channel content was too quiet or caused issues with Sonos home theater systems.
To use the Continuous Audio Connection feature:
° Go to Settings > Video and Audio > Audio Format > HDMI Output.
° Toggle Continuous Audio Connection to On.
