Add Spacial Audio support into the Desktop Version.

AiroPi — Sun, 16 Oct 2022 15:40:47 GMT

Within a Macbook Pro late 2016, I am able to activate "Spacial Audio" with compatible devices when watching some videos, movies... but not with Spotify !

In fact, the Spacial audio is available with the Spotify Web version opened in Safari, but using the application, the option is disabled when wanting to activate spacial audio...

Please add the support of this feature on MacOS, like it is supported in the iOS version and the safari web version...

Thx

Hm this seems to be about the iOS version, that already have support for spacial audio (I can activate spacial audio when using Spotify on my iPhone).

My suggestion concern the MacOS version, that doesn't allow us to activate the Spacial Audio using the desktop version (only using the web version from safari).

Come on guys, almost 3 years to add this, should be called fix instead of feature ... We'd be honored to know what you're talking about in that fancy Ideas Exchange Board ...
