Macbook Pro 16 inch 2021 M1 Max - Airpods Pro Spatial Audio Greyed Out

Hi, I bought the new Macbook Pro 16 inch 2021 M1 MAX. I try to enable spatial audio on my Airpods Pro from the macbook control center but it's greyed out and says spatial audio not available.


I'm certain the song i play from Apple music supports spatial audio because I try it on my iPhone and it works.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.0

Could you post a snapshot of where you are looking at these settings?


In my setup within Apple Music (Music> Preferences> Playback> Audio quality), I have Atmos as "always on" and "lossless enabled" on everything... and the Airpods Pro work amazingly well...


BTW, "Spatial Audio" doesn't work on everything it depends if the song was mastered for it or not...
