I think the term for finally losing your mind in a fit of rage after attempting to use Apple products for years, only to finally realize that Apple deliberately configures things to not work properly, is called Appleplexy.
I recently discovered that in order to get ANY multi channel output on your HDMI (but Apple forbid full Atmos!) you have to find a hidden program called Apple MIDI settings. MIDI!!! WTF?!? 🤦🏻♂️
