Wwise not outputting 3D audio correctly

0 votes
I have a 4 channel wind ambience file that I'm sending to the Main Beds bus.  With 3D audio enabled in Wwise, it's only sending it out of the Left and Right channels on the Main Mix.  However, I have a stereo wind ambience file that I'm also sending to the Main Beds bus, but it's sending that file out of all of the channels (7.1.4).  Why would this be?  Shouldn't a 4 channel file also be sent out to all of the 7.1.4 channels through the Main Bed bus?  Shouldn't I be able to hear binaurally in the headphones with Dolby Atmos for Headphones enabled?  Thanks for any insight here.

I'm using Wwise 2023.1.2.844

I have 3D audio enabled, and I'm using Dolby Atmos for Headphones as the Spatial Sound output in Windows.
