On the second day of Snapdragon Summit 2022, Qualcomm announced its most advanced Bluetooth audio platform to date - the Qualcomm S5 Gen 2 Sound Platform and Qualcomm S3 Gen 2 Sound Platform with support for Snapdragon Sound technology. The company did mention a couple of things about the improved audio so here are some more that you can read below.

It has been a while since Apple announces Spatial Audio, and it's now making its way to cars. However, not every model will get it, as only those select electric and luxury models from Mercedes-Benz are.

Popular streaming service Netflix has announced that it is bringing in spatial audio support to all devices so as enhance the listening experience for its subscribers. Hence, users with devices that do not normally support the format can now use it, bringing in theatre-like sound for applicable contents on the platform.

Android users might get an exciting audio feature with the upcoming Android 13. According to the source, spatial audio, which is already available on the iPhones, might be making its way to the Google Pixel phones with future Android 13 betas.

Last month, Clubhouse finally dropped its invite-only system, allowing anyone on iOS and Android to join the platform. Now, the company has to come up with ways to keep its users around. And it seems that new audio features are on the cards.

A few weeks back, Apple launched Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio for Apple Music. Now that the company has paved the way, other companies are looking to add similar features to their apps. One of them happens to be an iOS app for Netflix.

Not every Android smartphone uses listens to music on Spotify. Although rare, some people actually use Apple Music on Android. Apple held a beta test for Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio last month, but now it's officially available to all users.

Those who signed up for Apple's beta testing program can now download the iOS and iPadOS 15 from the Public Beta website. According to sources, the company had added plenty of new features for the latest iOS.

As you may recall, Apple announced that it will be adding Lossless Audio and Spatial Audio to Apple Music last month. That feature was officially added to MacBooks after WWDC 2021 last night. However, it should be noted that it will be limited to selected Mac devices.

If you recall, Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio were added to Apple Music yesterday. But if you're hoping to enjoy them using Apple's audio products, you might be out of luck. From what we gathered online, Lossless Audio won't work with wireless audio.
