    What is spacial sound, I tried it, and not sure if I like it


    I do the type of thing where I don't decide if I like something until I hear the full context of it. I saw this randomly in the sound settings, it made no difference on YouTube but when I played Minecraft it sounded really strange, my headphones are already 3D and do surround sound in minecraft without it but this sounded way different. Can anyone explain what it is and what it does?

    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?

    What is spacial sound, I tried it, and not sure if I like it

    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.
