[@boo7948]

hey everyone welcome back to another youtube video, but first a quick word from our sponsor honey, honey is a great free coupon code stealer that looks for coupon codes for the price of a virus on your computer, worth it if you ask me. anyway back to the video, but before that let me give an honorable mention to my dog for being a great dog and to myself for being a great dog owner to such a great dog, i would also like to mention that my cat died and im very sad about it so if you could write a comment about it i would still be sad but it would make the algorithm give me more views, now that we have that out of the way we can begin talking about my great grandpas death. it was very tragic and i cried for many minecraft days, please be sad for me i am gay

[@helplessgaming7479]

If you just right click the sound button on the taskbar there's a "Spatial Sound" drop down menu. After downloading Dolby Atmos, it will appear in that drop down menu, you just click to enable and go back to the Dolby Atmos app!

[@antonsaiko]

@@helplessgaming7479 wrong person?

[@user-rw2um2cx7j]

definitely a like for that

[@OutMagic]

For anyone wondering, I was confused if I had to have this program open at all times for it to be 'active' but the fact that you change the "Spatial sound" to dolby makes it active so the moment you start up your computer you're good to go :D yay

[@assassins13610]

i was just wondering that, appreciate the comment

Little tip: "Apply" and "OK" do the same thing, except that "OK" closes the window as well. There is no need to click "Apply" if you're going to click "OK" anyway, because "OK" also applies any changes.

[@ChrisProAU]

Sort of... "Apply" puts into effect the change you made. "OK" puts into effect the change you made and closes the dialog. But note that that last sentence, about "OK," is the way it's supposed to work; it's generally fine but it's not 100%. There's an occasional exception to that and in such a dialog, "OK" just closes the dialog and doesn't apply the change. Along with this there are cases where the settings may revert back on their own and applying can save a step checking whether the feature actually is enabled or not. So generally, it's safest to first click "Apply," and then "OK." Newer programs are less likely to have the issue however, so it probably doesn't matter as much now, just an old habit.

@@ChrisProAU Argh that looks like major usability issues in those programs. Spank the programmers ;-) (I'm a software dev myself ;-) )

[@Ryzza5]

In the oldest versions of Windows an applet could sometimes hang or crash when you clicked ok, then you couldn't be sure if the changes applied or not. So we got into the habit of clicking Apply first, then ok, just to be sure. But yes today there's no point.

[@powerhouse884]

@@ChrisProAUYeah thats a developer problem if they don’t code it correctly so always hit ‘Apply’ then ‘Ok”

[@nyaatama8529]

I always wonder why people take so many extra steps in tutorials, right click the sound icon, click on sounds.... Boom! Your there, no typping, no other panels. Quick and easy!

[@ChrisProAU]

There's often a difference between the quickest and simplest way of doing something. In this case the sound menu had changed in recent windows updates and you couldn't use the right click method to get there on every PC. I also have to go over installing the Dolby Access app as there is a significant amount of devices that don't have it preinstalled. The goal is to have a guide that works for everyone rather than saving a few seconds and having people complain that something doesn't work for them.

[@nyaatama8529]

@@ChrisProAU I was speaking in general. Because while you are not wrong about when only certain machines allow it; but so many people often use very roundabout methods in their tutorials. This was the one that made me say it on default, because I watched quite a few tutorials lately that did that. But I also wanted to point out that method and this way seems makes people notice. So, sorry if it seems like I am critiquing; but it is more of a bipolar way to give out information on something small.

[@dvgemerden28]

@@ChrisProAU i have a realtek r videocard in laptop. that dont supports atmos with my pulse 3d headset i think?

[@Classikh]

The quicker way is to right click the speaker icon in the system tray (bottom right). Hover over spatial sound and select "Dolby Atmos". You can turn it off the same way.

[@xibeon]

@@steverupert6988 Did you try it out? I got the A50(Xbox version) as well, using only on PC with USB cable(for now). Is it worth it to upgrade to AUX cable or is even the Dolby Acces worth 20 bucks?

[@Tkay_One]

If I choose a spatial sound option like Dolby it keeps going back to default as soon as I select I don’t know how to fix it

[@AlexOF1980]

I use my 65 inch tv as my secondary monitor for watching movies and streaming and it has its own surround sound processor, coupled with dolby access/atmos some sounds are virtually vibrating inside my ear. Even though it's designed for headphones it works for speakers as well. Pretty cool for music as well. Very recommended. Love the tutorial. Dolby Access is worth the money.

[@gua-pi-mao]

For some reason when I click Dolby Atmos for Headphones in the control panel it disappears and becomes off

[@iconsumepizza]

The fact it was automatically set up is crazy annd i still searched up for this

[@revolverop598]

Idk what's the problem but whether i disable or enable the dolby the sound is same as before

[@aratanicodema33]

My smartphone and my laptop are equipped with Dolby Atmos. Now watching movies and listening to music with 5.1, 7.1 and Atmos sound is a pleasure. I advise the Tidal mobile application, there is already a lot of music in the Dolby Atmos format

[@ClawHammer00]

what software do you use for playing movies? I can get correct positional sound with games, but not with movies. tried many video players.

[@trd_banco]

[@simongs99]

Brilliant app perfect for my windows 11 laptop. resolves all my sound problems now when watching stuff so no more too loud or to quiet. Equal sound now. So this is the perfect app if the sound enhancement tab is missing on your windows 11 laptop. Tried for weeks to find a work around solution to get the enhancement tab without any success. Even tried free equaliser apps but none have a equal sound setting for playback. So this the app to get if you have this issue with sound

[@onlyss9029]

do u fix it?

[@socks2441]

okay, but how does it actually work. like if i have a movie with dolby atmos support, how do i get it to play back using dolby atmos? i have looked around on the internet and most people say it only works with microsoft films and tv. plus, these virtual surround sound techs confuse me, some can do really bad virtual surround sound for everything, some can do good virtual surround sound but only when the input has the right information, like dolby atmos, which im guessing only works with the few games that support it, and most movies support it, but i cant find any information on media players such as vlc, km player, mpc hc, kodi etc. does the player need to also support dolby atmos? i assume it does as it is the software playing the media and therefore encoding the dolby atmos data. but i cannot find any information out there on any players that support it? i sure as heck aint paying $15 for something that doesnt work with movies i watch. i just want this for headphones by the way, no complicated physical surround sound setup.

What if my headphones are connected to an audio interface? I've already tried connecting them directly to the motherboard and Dolby Access works, but connecting them to my interface doesn't work.

[@rellimahn7364]

I love this video. It was beneficial and straightforward. Unfortunately, Dolby is now requiring a subscription service to use the sound settings portion of the app... It really sucks of them to pay-wall block us like that. In the future, I will be looking for a free version of the same software (maybe a cracked old version? I don't know) and I will keep you guys informed if I find one.

[@ChrisProAU]

It's not actually a subscription, just a one-time license fee. You are able to use it for up to 5 devices forever after that.

I followed the tutorial but my rear 2 speakers won't output any sound. I get the green Atmos LED on my soundbar but no sound on the rear 2 speakers since I upgraded to windows 11. I did have audio from the rear 2 speakers after I pressed the sound Reset button in the control panel but it did not last even for a day. I set everything up again, turned on all speakers in the control panel, tried setting them to full range and not. Nothing works to get the rear 2 speakers going. Anyone else have this problem since windows 11? I upgraded my Nvidia driver and tried rolling back my audio driver too.

[@yeswanthg9870]

Hey users and video maker.. does it showing DOLBY ATMOS in the spatial sound for headphones..? Or only for the speaker..?

[@j7ndominica051]

From the review it looks to be tied to Windows 10. Until they give a simple DLL that can be hacked and plugged in like Dolby Headphone, it's not worth it. I think a binaural demo could be captured and shared on KZbin. It's just Haas effect time delays like you get in a normal space. The AAC codec is quite good with the application of joint-stereo.
