Embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for providing spatialized audio in a virtual experience. The spatialized audio may be used for voice communications, such as voice/video chats. The chat may include spatialized audio combined on a client device or an online experience platform and for a particular user. A single audio stream may be collected from multiple avatars and other objects and combined based on a target user. The audio may also include background and/or ambient sounds to provide a rich, immersive audio stream in the virtual experience. 本文描述的实施方式涉及在虚拟体验中提供空间化音频的方法、系统、以及计算机可读介质。空间化音频可以用于语音通信，例如语音/视频聊天。聊天可以包括在客户端设备或在线体验平台上组合，并且针对特定用户的空间化音频。可以从多个化身以及其他对象收集单个音频流，并基于目标用户对上述音频流进行组合。音频还可以包括背景和/或环境声音，以在虚拟体验中提供丰富的、沉浸式的音频流。
