Hi bryanmwolfe, We appreciate you reaching out to us. We understand that Spatial Audio shows "Not Available" on your MacBook Pro.


We recommend that you try the steps under the "Get a demonstration of spatial audio on your MacBook Pro" section in the article below.

Are you able to use the Spatial Audio feature through the demonstration?


If yes, we recommend that you check if all of your media are affected.

Some media may not support the Spatial Audio feature.


If no, we recommend that you check if the issue persists while on safe mode.

Below is an article to help guide you through the process.
