SKAudioNode only playing Musics in Mono

I'm developing a SpriteKit game, and I encountered a problem: The SKAudioNode instance only plays my game's background music in mono mode.

I have the following instance in my SKScene class:

var backgroundMusic : SKAudioNode?

The following method loads and plays the background music:

func loadAndPlayBackgroundMusic() {
    if let musicURL = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "music", withExtension: "mp3") {
        backgroundMusic = SKAudioNode(url: musicURL)
        self.addChild(self.backgroundMusic!)
    } else {
        print("Error: Could not load the music!")
    }
}

It plays the music just fine, the only problem is that it seems to be mono (or using some sort of 3D spatial audio effect). How can I fix it? I already trying setting the SKAudioNode's isPositional property to false with no avail.

did you try to use another mp3 to check if you have the same weird effect? – mugx Jan 29 '18 at 23:01
@AndreaMugnaini Yes! It's not the mp3 file. – ThiagoAM Jan 29 '18 at 23:04
Have you considered using `SKAction.playSoundFileNamed` or `AVAudioPlayer` instead? They both work with stereo files. – 0x141E Jan 31 '18 at 23:09
