How to Enable Spatial Sound in Windows 10

news

One of the coolest features of the Windows 10 Creators Update involves getting a better listening experience with premium headphones. Spatial sound, as it’s called, gives headphones a sort of 3D effect or one that more closely resembles true surround sound -- depending on the source.

Unfortunately, it’s disabled by default. Here’s how to enable it.

  • Right click the sound icon in the bottom right of the system tray. 
  • Select Playback devices from the context menu.
  • Click the headphones or speaker type you’d like to enable spatial sound for. 
  • Click the Properties button at the bottom right.  
  • Choose the Spatial Sound tab at the top.  
  • From the dropdown menu, select Windows Sonic for Headphones (or other, if it’s for a speaker). 
  • Click the OK button to finish. <ok.png>
