Windows 10: Spatial sound can be turned on but isn't actually working W11 22H2

About a day or two ago, I noticed that the spatial sound on my Windows 11 PC was no longer functioning properly. I haven't touched anything in my sound settings in about a month, and I updated to Windows 11 22H2 on 9/20/22. As of right now, my sound settings have spatial audio turned on and set to Dolby Atmos for Headphones. However, there is currently absolutely no difference in audio when spatial audio is turned on or off. I also compared Dolby Atmos to Windows Sonic for Headphones and there was no difference between those two or between Windows Sonic or no spatial audio whatsoever.In short,

:)

 

Spatial Sound

I followed the instructions but when I got to #4 spatial sound said off and there was no other info or any way to turn it on. I hit return to default but that did nothing. Please help. my earphones are off .

 

Spatial Sound

Hi,

The Spatial Sound feature is available in Windows 10 but by default, it has been disabled. To enable it, follow the steps below:

• In the notification area, right-click on the sound icon.
• In the context menu, click on Playback devices.
• Select your playback device and then click on Properties.
• Click on the Spatial sound tab.
• Select the Spatial sound format you want to apply.

Get back to us if there is anything else. We'll be glad to help.

 

Spatial sound is not available on this device

I think it's pretty obvious that he wasn't looking for that answer. He clearly explained that he's not able to turn on the spatial sound and not that he's unable to find a way to turn the spatial sound on. I've got the same problem and I too am looking for
answers. Thank you for being nice enough to come up with an answer but please read the questions carefully before answerig them.
