So I’ve noticed that I can no longer turn off spatial audio in apps that don’t allow the video to keep playing in the background when you pull down control center. For example, spatial audio is active when I click into a video on Twitter, but when I go to turn it off, it pauses the video and will not let me turn spatial audio off. Other apps, like YouTube, will play in the background and allow me to turn off spatial audio. Anybody else have this issue or know of a fix?

It might have something to do with the way the audio is encoded is certain apps that prevents the setting from being changeable on the fly. If that is the case, then it would be up to the app maker to make changes.

I thought that was part of the issue but Sling and NBC Sports also won’t let me turn off the spattialize stereo audio feature. The system won’t even recognize that it’s on. It’s… awful. it’s awful.
