Use VoiceOver positional audio on Mac
If you have stereo headphones or dual speakers, you can use positional audio to hear audio cues (or sound effects) about an item’s location on the screen.
Note: VO represents the VoiceOver modifier that you press with additional keys to enter VoiceOver commands. By default, you can press Control and Option together or just press Caps Lock.
Positional audio is enabled by default.
To turn it off, open VoiceOver Utility (press VO-Fn-F8 when VoiceOver is on), click the Sound category, then select Enable positional audio.
If you turned on “Play stereo audio as mono” in Accessibility settings, you can’t hear positional audio using VoiceOver.
