This video should blow up. I doubt anyone else is going to use a Trinnov to show what's actually happening. Good idea, useful info.

[@juicewarrior2501]

The Last of Us pt. 2 had some amazing surround sound design. Being able to hear the 360 degree direction where the clickers were coming from was amazing and came in clutch at times.

[@rolandrohde]

As with Movies, it all depends on how much effort the Devs put into this. My experience (as an Xbox Gamer) is that most Devs don't care that much about Audio and Spatial Audio never got much attention. There are a few standout Games like the Tomb Raider series and Metro Exodus, but 99% of Games still barely have decent 5.1 Sound, let alone Atmos/DTS:X. On top of that, Atmos on the Xbox upmixes all Games, regardless of their original Audio, and often doesn't do a great job, making them sound a bit hollow and tinny. That's the reason I chose DTS:X on the Xbox. Still, it's pretty unfortunate that so few Game Devs natively support Spatial Audio, despite the option existing on Xbox since 2015 and even longer on PC.

[@jaffaman99]

Not necessarily true in the case of ps5 game audio, as the 3d positional data may already exist and just needs mixing out correctly.

[@rolandrohde]

@@jaffaman99 That was what many had hoped when it came out on Xbox in 2015 but sadly it never came to be.

[@jobkuperus]

I have to disagree. Been on the XBox team / fan since 2003 and owned them all. Because all my son's friends have the Playstation I had no choice but to buy a PS5 to keep the spoiled little f0cker happy (1st world problems...). I have a 7.2.4 Atmos setup of which a was really disappointed on the XBox. Hooked it up on the PS5 and am amazed by the quality....

[@rolandrohde]

@@jobkuperus That is interesting indeed. Can you tell me which Games you tested this with? The Dolby/DTS implementation on Xbox ia mostly provided by Dolby and DTS themselves and many Games use Audio Middleware like WWISE, so I am very curious where the differences might come from. Maybe Sony does internal Upmixing to 360 Reality Audio and then encodes the rest as Atmos or something? I am in the process of migrating from Series X to PC and am looking forward to seeing what kind of Audio benefits there might be. I know that Atmos on Xbox One X had some restrictions over PC, but thought those were lifted for Series X...🤔

[@jobkuperus]

@@rolandrohde He got it last week so for now he only has Hogwarts legacy which has nice effects. Rain, roaming ghosts and other special effects are giving an extra dimension but that free issued game on all PS5''s called Astro Playroom really amazed me. You should check it out.

big fan from china. congrats , this video is a big success cause it deliver a very good idea to visualize the sound . I feel i get ignited by your great innovation. thanks sir

[@alyx4436]

Amazing video. I will be testing this further with my 5.1.2 setup and will report back. So far I have tried Spider-Man 2 and its really really impressive. However, it is worth noting, Digital Foundry recently did an interview with the Tech Director of Insomniac and he said that because they were one of the first games releasing after the Atmos update, they made an actual Atmos mix and baked it in. So, from now on alot of big budget releases are probably going to follow suit. So essentially we will have three types of Atmos experiences on the PS5: upmixed from standard, Tempest 3D Audio that is then converted to Atmos, and straight up dedicated Atmos mixed by the devs.

[@faustianblur1798]

Great video. If you want details on how the PS5 handles Dolby Atmos, Mark Cerny wrote a description for Digital Foundry that was posted on Eurogamer. My understanding is that games internally create a 36 channel ambisonic mix that's then rendered out to the individual speakers of whatever system you have, which is why there aren't any dynamic sound objects. I'd be very interested to see a similar visualisation of the Xbox Series X's Dolby Atmos output, I couldn't find a video if there's already one covering it, as it seems quite different. I believe it's only supported in specific games like Overwatch.

[@GastonTheStallion]

Yes. It's a bit confusing though as per today, it apparently uses the Tempest engine to translate 3D audio into the Atmos container. No game exists today that has an Atmos track AFAIK, and I am unsure if it can accept such a thing without going through the Tempest chip.. but they have removed the problem that resides on Xbox and Windows.. there is no lag in their solution.. which is fantastic

[@MisterReen]

Many thanks for this video. This is most likely the best and most precise test of this feature so far. Fantastic work!

[@campos3452]

If you have an LG TV with Dolby Atmos support turn it ON. Use optical out hdmi bitstream audio and plug it into an DAC that supports optical input, then switch the PS5 to Atmos you now have Atmos on your headphones sounds better then tempest!

[@macmacsk]

In some games it sounds as if they take sounds from below the player and play them through the heigh channels. Have you noticed this? I believe standard PS5 3D headphone audio does take into account sound from below you, so wondering if that messes up some of the atmos mixes..

[@carbonm2]

I did prefer playing MWII in Dolby Atmos on PS5 and my Denon 7.1.4 vs the headphones. I tried to find the differences in native Dolby Atmos with my XSX. Haven't decided which sounds better yet.

Can you try MWII multiplayer and Miles Morales, also Forbidden West. Also in game settings, are you leaving it optimized for headphones or speakers.

[@macacoy2k]

Great video and testing, once games are mixed natively in Atmos I guess and hope will be much better.

[@davehilling3944]

I am sure it will get better as game designers actively integrate atmos into the game vs letting the PS5 attempt to do it.

[@MrStrictlyOLED]

Absolutely that’s the key once the game is made with Dolby atmos then we will really get the true Dolby atmos on PS5 like series X has

[@segaboy128]

I wonder how ps5 dolby atmos compares to ps5 7.1 lpcm upmixed dsu/neural x. Thanks for video!

[@ccnp2009]

King VillaMan can you make another video where your PS5 audio setting is Linear PCM and your processor is in Auro-3d. Then make a comparison with PS5 in Dolby Atmos.

[@fw40]

Good work! But, it's possible to use the Atmos viewer to also show how the objects are placed and how they are moving around. Or does that function for the Atmos viewer only work for movies with Atmos? It would be interesting to see how many games are using a static mix and if any are a dynamic mix(objects moving around irt) It's awsome that you are doing videos like this!

[@ThaVillaMan]

It seems only movie have the dynamic objects that move around. Games appear to be pretty channel specific and not very dynamic (at least right now), which is counterintuitive

[@solidcrusader8959]

My follow up question is when once this update is released on PS5, and I have only soundbar, Subwoofer, and two rear speakers so should I choose AV amplifier as my audio Output device or should I choose soundbar? If you can reach me out with info on this I would appreciate it. Thanks

[@ThaVillaMan]

That kind of soundbar is emulating a home cinema so home cinema is the option I would select

[@ghostofneworleans4511]

Dolby sounded louder on my sounbar. But placement was better with Dolby atmos

[@lambo2655]

I recently upgraded my Bose soundbar to the 900 for the Dolby-Atmos support. I've tried out a number of PS5 games with mixed results. Mainly the issue I'm having in some games is the music can get drowned out despite changing audio game settings. This could be because especially for older games they weren't designed with Atmos support during development. This is an issue in the new Horizon and Jedi Survivor both games have outstanding soundtracks I want to hear but are stuck listening to at low volume compared to the other sound settings. They need to add a better audio mixing option but I have no idea how much work this would take and if the devs would even bother. In more recent game releases like Final Fantasy 16, Dead Space Remake, RE4 Remake and now AC Mirage the sound, voice & music mix in those games sound perfect. The new Spiderman2 game was confirmed to be developed with Atmos support built into the game so I expect to get an exhilarating audio experience.

[@waynepoole6120]

I use an Xbox One x with a Sony 5.2.2 system. It sounds great imo. I have no complaints. At some point I hope to expand it to a 7.2.4 system but as of right now, I have no complaints at all.

[@ThaVillaMan]

Nice, that’s already great. Can only get better!

[@Gman2002]

@DigitalFoundry Alex, Richard or John Linneman should partner with you on this topic. Would be a good collab. Great video and thanks for the visual speaker indicator. Very straightforward video with no fluff. Sony did a great job pulling this off. 👍🏾

[@Jayrod64]

In most cases these are games *currently getting "translated" from Tempest 3D Audio into Dolby Atmos. Once the feature comes out of beta, which realistically won't take longer than a month, we should start to see updates with proper Dolby Atmos mixes.

[@rashed434]

Thats just Digital Foundry misinformation. They made it sound as if the current way the tempest 3D information is outputted using an Atmos container a compromise (it isnt). Games will continue being mixed using Tempest as there is no such thing as ‘native Atmos games’ coming later. The only difference is that devs can now test in a 7.1.4 speaker setup whereas before they had to use headphones.

[@Jayrod64]

​@@rashed434 Nobody said anything about Tempest 3D Audio being output in a Dolby Atmos container. That information came directly Mark Cerny himself(the lead system architect of Playstation), not Digital Foundry. He helped make the thing FFS. This is the highest level of ignorance I have ever seen on the internet.

Hi, I have a PS5 with the latest beta firmware installed to allow Dolby Atmos. I have a Samsung Q90R Dolby Atmos soundbar with rear speakers. In my PS5 settings, I have sound output as AVR and Dolby Atmos as audio priority. In a game’s settings, some offer sound modes for 3D headphones and home cinema. Is it best to stick to home cinema in the settings or would I gain more using the 3D headphone option?

[@ThaVillaMan]

Stick to home cinema in game if you have Dolby Atmos selected in the system settings

[@OneManTagTeam]

​@@ThaVillaMando you have Dead Space remake on PS5? There is a 3D Audio option in game, and it doesn't specify headphones. It seems like it's actually meant for Atmos based on the description it provides. I was curious if you could test the difference between the 3D and Home Theater settings in-game using the Atmos viewer.

[@togzus]

I also have the Samsung Q90R setup + Samsung tv . On my PS5, my audio settings is AV receiver with Dolby Atmos as the priority. In the Dead space remake's audio channel setting, the 3d audio option sounds is way more immersive then the multichannel option. That's specifically with Dead space so I highly recommend you try that game out. The sound is crazy.

Dolby Atmos is not a channel based format. It‘s object based. Your system figures out where to place the sounds based on the speakers you have.

[@freeman2810]

[@subterfuge7632]

@@freeman2810 I mean your sound system is figuring out where to place the sounds provided by the Dolby Atmos information based on how many speakers you have. Like I said, Dolby Atmos is an object based format, the number of channels and speakers is inconsequential. Dolby Atmos objects are mixed as a placement in the soundstage, not for a particular channel.

[@mrchiledonut]

5.1. And it will assume you have speakers placed at 30 for fronts and 90 - 110 for side surrounds as is the default for surround systems on PS5, but you can get away with anywhere between 85 to 110 degrees, maybe 120. I wouldn't worry too much about it, just try to get speakers as close to optimal position as possible. You don't have to "tell" the PS5 that you have height speakers, it will put the height information where it needs to go based on how the Tempest engine is working.

[@mainsource8030]

The PC port of Returnal has not only built in atmos but a Ray Tracing audio option as well. It should do well on the ps5 as it sounds amazing on my 7.2.4 atmos enabled pc.

[@jimschannelx]

In the ps5 setting, you can adjust the position of the speakers but it doesn't show atmos speakers. I wonder as well why they dont have speaker configuration for atmos. You can just choose between 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1.

Thanks for putting the effort into to visualise speaker usage and explain how static mixing is used here.

I'd also be curious whether some of the height channel usage is just mirroring the surrounds where it seems logical or if its truly its own sound

[@togzus]

Which PS5 games make the best use of Dolby Atmos? So far I found that the Dead Space remake makes the best use of surround sound.

[@ajackson]

How do you set up your PS5 for the best possible experience? I have the Samsung Q990c and I've heard that you can select Dolby Atmos, and then put it as AV Receiver. But then some people say keep it as LCPM but I'm not so sure.

[@ThaVillaMan]

Don’t use LCPM if you have a Dolby Atmos capable TV or receiver. With LPCM the PS5 will be doing the processing, when what you want is your audio device to do it. So continue what you’re doing by selecting Dolby Atmos and putting it as AV Receiver.

[@XxXxXxDEREKxXxXxX]

What is your Dolby Atmos path for your PS5? I can run PS5 > Samsung S990C > TV or PS5 > TV > eARC > Samsung S990C on my LG C2. Which path do you recommend? Keep it up the quality content.

Hello VillaMan, have you tried Destiny 2? My experience appears to downgrade the sound to stereo with center channel when applying Dolby Atmos. I suppose Destiny 2 doesnt have 3D audio but it shouldnt downgrade it either.

Is there any way to peep the bitrate of the audio? My #1 game for testing dolby atmos on PS5 is Horizon Forbidden West, amazing atmosphere constantly, doesn't miss opportunities for nice over head effects like the other games I've tested. Thanks for the great video 👍 Also it's worth mentioning that what we have so far is not custom made dolby atmos mixes, it's the Tempest 3D audio mix that's been out since the release of the PS5 exclusively for headphones at that time, now that 3D data is being mapped to Dolby Atmos. So if developers want to do a native / "proper" atmos mix going forward they absolutely can.

@@paddipat Well maybe if it got more attention maybe it's something that can force both Dolby and Microsoft to act to fix? Atmos, or real atmos anyway is not friendly for the average consumer as it's still rather complicated. Not trying to make an excuse, but I love good audio and I still haven't even bothered to try because I just can't make that investment. Thankfully the sound bars have been pushing the tech better than pretty much anything else out there. At least Xbox gave you the option, but all the websites are coasting on Sony payola. I'm telling you Sony is going to copy quick resume and all of these websites are going to treat it like it's the greatest new thing ever.

[@martinarrieta4536]

Its been a laggy mess since its inception in a not minor amount of cases. Sure the mixes themselves are great but when the audio delay is so bad you can't even use it in a si gle player game, you turn it off. Nothing like firing a gun in Halo/Gears, watching the bullet fly then hear the actual shot go off. In Hi Fi Rush, its completely unusable as the entire game relies on you hearing the beat....which in Atmos is delayed on visuals. Its been an issue for years on both Xbox AND Windows. The beta Atmos on PS5 is usable without that horrendous delay. Just because Xbox managed to crank out a crap version of it first doesn't diminish Sony cranking out an usable Atmos second. Repeat, I don't care that it was an option on Xbox first because it was had an awful delay despite the native Atmos games having great spatial mixes. I still had to play the games with the audio not matching when things happened on screen. That on its own made me keep the Xbox on 7.1 uncompressed and just upmixed it. Competition is always good. This might convince Microsoft to get off their ass and actually do something about that stupid delay just like Xbox Series having Quick Resume is likely forcing Sony to push some other feature.

The sound can't be better than your speakers THX Iis nice, And now measure the latency for games 16 bit 24 or 32 have fun measuring, And maybe a good advice IEM speakers with microphone or good headphones with separate microphone, GAMERS CRAP IS STILL CRAP I myself use`` AntLion Audio Kimura Duo`` which is not that expensive and of reasonable goed quality, Try pl.
