Windows 10: Spacial Sound Issue

Alright, so basically, I've had this problem for a while but it never really bothered me until I started playing games where knowing the direction of sounds became important. If you open sounds in control panel you have the option for spacial sound. It is currently off for me and when I try to switch it, it just instantly switches back to "off". I'm not sure what is wrong and does anyone have a solution?

Headphones and Spacial sound

I can listen to everything through my headphones (3.5mm jack) but my computer doesn't recognize them as "headphones". They don't appear in playback devices, hardware, or anywhere else, only single option of speakers is displayed. This is stopping me from
being able to use Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic spacial sound. Since I can't change playback device to headphones all options on both spatial sounds apps are greyed out. How do I get Windows 10 (Acer Nitro 5 laptop) to recognize that I have headphones, not
speakers, plugged into the 3.5mm jack?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

 

Good surround sound headset

I know you say you're not that guy, but stepping into the $250+ range really brings a change in build quality that might have you never having to buy another set. Otherwise, getting 6 speakers with decent sound in a headset is hard, and that's what you are asking for, and I have no suggestions, but just a bump up the list. *Stick Out Tongue
