Spatial audio not available - Monterey

Hello,


a week ago I bought a Macbook Pro 14 M1 Pro with Monterey 12.0.1 installed, today I bought the AirPods 3 headphones, but Spatial Audio is not available.


In my iPhone and iPad Pro Spatial Audio works perfectly but not in this mac.


Also on the Music, Preferences, Playback application, the Dolby Atoms function is not available.


Attached some pictures.


Some idea?

Thanks






MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.0

Hi tmunix,


As of right now Dolby Atmos in Apple Music on Monterey is available when You download entire album. Unfortunately, there is no Dolby Atmos while streaming. ;/


so to sum up: (of course if You have compatible headphones)


streaming via music.app on Monterey with M1 Macs = no Dolby Atmos

downloading whole album in Dolby Atmos = You can hear in Dolby Atmos.


I hope this workaround will help You, until Apple fix this.
