I'm having the same problem. The first time running Apex Legends after restarting my computer, the game will disable spatial sound(DTS Headphone X) and default to stereo. I then have to close Apex, enable spatial sound again manually in windows, then restart Apex. From then on it will work fine. I can close and run Apex as much as I want and it works fine, until I reboot my pc. Then the next time I start Apex it will disable spatial sound again.
I've edited the setting file to have a speaker number of 8. Everything is updated. Also made sure that exclusive access to the sound device was disabled, but the problem persists.
I've watched the video, and done my own tests, and the only way I was able to accurately hear where a sound was coming from was with DTS Headphone X. Everything else was underwhelming.
Still having the same problem a year and a half later.
