Music spatial audio for mac

Is it true that spatial audio is not available for macOS Apple Music?

It is already available for iOs Apple Music, so I just assumed that it works on macs as well...

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.0

Apologies, it's not supported on Macs https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211775 (although https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT212182 gives the impression it does).

Well. I listen to the same song with AirPods Pro, with the Dolby Atmos sign, on Apple Music on my iPhone and Mac.

On my phone, the music seems to stay at where the device is, like sound is coming from the phone.

On my mac, the music comes from the sides of my head, instead of from the device.

I made sure to turn on Dolby Atmos (Spatial Audio) on Apple Music for macOS, so now I'm stumped.
