Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed comprising means for providing first positional data indicative of a first user position in a virtual space which comprises a plurality of audio objects. The means may also be for receiving, based at least partially on the first positional data, data indicative of a first allocation of the audio objects into a prioritized order or into one of a plurality of prioritized groups in which each group has a respective priority order, and receiving audio data associated with at least some of the audio objects. The means may also be for rendering the received audio data for at least some of the audio objects associated with the received audio data, based on the first allocation data, in which audio objects with a higher priority or in a higher priority group are rendered with priority over audio objects allocated with a lower priority or in a lower priority group.
