How To Enable Dolby Atmos on PC! (Headphone Surround Sound)

[@antonsaiko]

I love KZbinrs like you, no extra 20 minutes of talk, no bs, just straight into the tutorial.

[@TYH4Cars]

definitely

[@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?

[@しょう-v6v]

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

[@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.

[@caique1643]

do you have to pay for it? It says I can test for 7 days then pay.

[@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?

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@thanosaias2717]

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.

Does Dolby Atmos actually recreate the kind of sound you'd hear in a Movie Theater onto any kind of headphones (even ones that are cheap and output low quality audio)? Same bass and everything? If so then I'm so buying this.

[@audie-cashstack-uk4881]

Yes and it works amazing it converts 5.1 7.1 and atmos to atmos for headphones it works amazing in games and movies wen listening to music it makes the music sound Fuller I love the thing it will also convert those formats to upmix atmos for passtgru to a sound bar or atmos home set up and allow true atmos playback on your pc to TV or sound systems...wen headphone ing usea amp dac withna good strong output from USB and a open back pair of headphones you will get a movie atmos experience around your head

[@KirbyGreen]

[@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.

what is the ingame settings for this? everyone says you might want to disable ingame surround effects and use stereo.. if the game output is stereo dolby atmos will NEVER do surround with only 2 channels from the game.. i can't really find any useful info.. it's like you have an 7.1 AV receiver.. you connect a stereo input.. you can set your receiver to 7.1 but you never gonna get surround with it

[@GaborBekkerbboytr1ck2g]

@LeGeR1aN imo you have to set up surround in the game.. (surround, 5.1, 7.1 etc) if the game natively supports Dolby Atmos then you have to enable that and disable in the windows audio settings.. some games already output surround when your ingame setting is on "headphones" depends on the game
