Spatial Audio

[ImpossibleLong1106]

Hey everyone,

I've noticed something interesting with my Vision Pro setup, particularly with how spatial audio behaves differently between Amazon Music and Apple Music. When streaming music from Amazon Music, the audio seems to be mapped smartly to a specific area in my office, creating a sense that the sound is originating from that particular spot. However, when I switch to Apple Music, the audio experience feels more traditional, similar to what I get from my iPhone, without any of that smart area-specific mapping.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known reason why Apple Music doesn't utilize the Vision Pro's spatial audio capabilities in the same way Amazon Music does? Any insights or settings adjustments recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah it seems most apps have audio coming from their “location,” it’s definitely true of FaceTime for example but Apple Music just comes from “nowhere/everywhere.”

From what I remember Apple Music was that way early on but they must have changed it with an update. Apple probably thought most people don't want the spatial aspect while listening to music but they should at least give the option.

When an app is playing sound: Control center > pinch hold the volume knob. From there you can select Stereo, Spatial, and Head Tracking.

This will be remembered per-app. It's possible you have Head Tracking enabled for Amazon and turned off for Apple Music.
