I am trying to watch a movie on my MacBook Air with my AirPod Pro's and I cannot figure out how to turn on spatial audio. Can anyone help me?

You cannot. Spatial Audio is for iOS devices only (iPhone/iPad).

Spatial Audio Unavailable Hi, I am a Mac M1 user and I have noticed that the Spatial Audio option is always grayed out on Mac (even when listening to Dolby Atmos songs on Apple Music with my AirPods Pro). I can correctly activate it & listen to the difference using my iPhone or iPad but I cannot use it on my Mac. Any idea? Best, Leo

Does the Mac mini support spatial audio? I've just bought the M1 Mac mini and I'm wondering if it supports spatial audio. I've updated to the MacOS Monterey and I have AirPods Pro. I tried listening to spatial audio songs on Apple Music and the spatial audio option is grayed out. I'll link a screenshot.
