We have released a new Unity Spatializer plugin that leverages hardware offloaded spatial audio processing on HoloLens 2 freeing up the CPU for the app. MRTK should switch over to this new plugin instead of using the legacy MS-HRTF spatializer.

We should ensure that the MRTK documentation recommends acquiring and using the Microsoft Spatializer. I will follow up.

Moving this to MRTK3. Documentation regarding spatializers is currently planned and this issue is a large part of the expected document.
