    Windows 11 - spatial audio grayed out


    Hello ,So I ran into this issue that my Astros a50 do not run on Dolby access because I need to apply it on my sound setting but when I try to switch it from off to Dolby Atmos it just doesn’t change and goes back to off. I also try to put it on windows sonic but that doesn’t seem to work as well as it just goes back to off once again

    :)

    Hey,

    When i upgraded from w10 to 11 everything was perfect.

    After ~2-3 weeks spatial audio disappeared and i ts grayed out on "off" setting.

    I can not use dolby atmos for headphones as i was before or windows sonic (nothing).

    I checked few audio newer/older realtek drivers versions, and did troubleshoot etc.

    Is it W11 bug?

    What else can i do?

    yea, nahmic works after i installed it from MSI. But it does not show under spatial sound menu (still grayed off).

    It work as standalone service in background with nahmic mirroring audio device.

    Nahmic is not something i want, honestly its bad and resource hungry.

    I need windows sonic audio/dts/dolby atmos for headphones Windows 11 - spatial audio grayed out :(
