Software Version: 8.0.5
Platform: macOS
Issue Description
When playing any video with multichannel audio support on macOS, the multichannel output functionality is lost at playback speeds higher than 1x.
-
Expected Behavior:
At all playback speeds, multichannel audio output should remain active, and the Spatial Audio settings along with the multichannel text should appear in the AirPods menu bar settings. -
Actual Behavior:
- At 1x playback speed, the Spatial Audio settings and multichannel text are visible and functional.
- At playback speeds above 1x, the output reverts to basic stereo, and the multichannel settings disappear.

Additional Notes
- This issue does not occur on iPadOS, where multichannel output works as expected at all playback speeds.
- It appears to be specific to macOS and could indicate a platform-specific bug.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Play any video with multichannel audio support on macOS using version 8.0.5.
- Observe the multichannel functionality at 1x playback speed (works as expected).
- Increase the playback speed to greater than 1x.
- Notice the loss of multichannel output and reversion to stereo.
