Dismiss the nearby-devices prompt

A prompt asks whether Sound quality and effects can find nearby devices. Tap Don’t allow to dismiss it — the setting works without nearby-device access.

Good to know

  1. Dolby Atmos turns on with Auto selected — Auto optimises the sound for whatever is playing. Movie, Music and Voice are the other modes.
  2. Opening Sound quality and effects asks for nearby-device permission. Either option dismisses the prompt; Dolby Atmos works the same either way.
  3. The recording starts with the notification shade pulled down (no notifications, No SIM); that is not part of the task — the steps start at Settings.
