Enable Immerse Spatial Audio

[Zileth]

So, I am not sure if I like the new Spatial Audio mode..... Like some moments I am like this is good and others I am like seems to muffle some stuff and makes it feel less vivid.

Luckly, they give you what like 7 or 14 free days. What do yall think?

I tried it once. It muffles the sound effects of skills for me, so I turns it off immediately. Maybe I use the wrong headset?

From the video it says works on any headset and my thing is feels like it does muffle the skill sounds but really muffles the ambient sounds or completely removes some of the sounds

So to go back on this maybe we are meant to turn up the listening position since I did that seems a bit better......

In my experience it sounds worse than what the majority of PCI-e and USB soundcards offer these days. Virtual Surround from either of those through a pair of stereo headphones beats this software by a country mile.

Mine seems to be turning off randomly. I start up the external program and enable it in game but a few minutes in I notice a change in sound. The setting shows ⚠️ Waiting for response from Immersive Game Pack and can't get it working unless I restart.
