I was able to test the forthcoming firmware update 4.0 for the PlayStation 5. Among many cool features I am looking at the Dolby Atmos sound output this update features. Just like the Xbox Series console, the PS5 is now able to output real Dolby Atmos surround sound within games. Watch me set up my PS5 system and watch me run a selection of games testing it how great they sound on my Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 home movie setup.

Thanks for making this video! I upgraded to a 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup recently and am very excited for this feature.
Hi ShearluckStudios 😊 oh you are in for a treat. This update is going to make a nice difference. Something to definitely look forward to 😎
Very positive experience so far. Ive experienced no audio lag using dolby atmos on PS5. On Xbox, ive always had an audio delay using atmos even though im plugged directly into the receiver.
Hi abo1199 😊 thank you for sharing your experience. I didn’t feel any lag either which sometimes is a problem for me on the Xbox especially with rhythm games like Hi-Fi rush Hellsinger.
A lot of people reporting lag issues with Atmos on the Xbox.
No issues whatsoever for me with Atmos on Xbox. I have the Xbox and PS5 connected to my LG oled, the TV is then connected to my Sonos system. Atmos works fine for me on both consoles.
Xbox does have a wide known lag bug issue with atmos.
@@godhand6510 Sure, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the issue effects everyone. Again, I don’t have the consoles directly connected to the Sonos system. They go directly into the Tv, the Sonos Arc also goes into the TV (eArc).
7.1.4 setup (Pioneer, Wharfedale evo, svs sub, Samsung 85qn85b)😉
Can’t wait for this Update!! Atmos when done correctly can be amazing and it sounds better than regular surround on a regular basis. Will have to go back to some games with my 5.2.2 setup.
Hi Mauriciowalle 👋 Yes 100% that has been my all around experience too. I hope it will launch for every PS5 owner soon 😎
@@SamDansCouch just to check. So Atmos is not out yet? And how do I get the beta firmware?
@@legaliize Hello 👋 the firmware is not available for everyone yet since Sony is still testing it. You can apply to get access at Sonys website: www.playstation.com/en-us/ps5/ps5-beta-program-sign-up/
So far... Horizon Forbidden West and Ghost of Tsushima have impressed me the most in Dolby Atmos! in GT7 in 3rd person I could hear the helicopter above but that's all. Spider-Man Remastered was disappointing as well, only heard music from a car slightly above... Ratchet & Clank is ok along with god of war ragnarok. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I especially appreciate when sound designers / mixers place ambient sounds like wind above, they seem understand that just becuase there are no birds, planes or thunder overhead that does not mean the speakers should be dead silent! and I really appreciate this approach. height speakers can always be used to create atmosphere be it reflections or ambiences.
Hello unfonishedbusinessGaming 👋😊 thank you for sharing your experience. I 100% agree that the sound designers should always keep ambient sound in mind in general. It all depends on the person mixing the games audio. It’s the same thing in movies too, not every Dolby Atmos movie is mixed to its fullest potential. It’s exciting though to go through all the games and find out which games are already rocking full 3D sound 😎
I don't have the beta, but I'd expect Returnal, Horizon: FW, and God of War to sound impressive. I'll try it for myself when I get the opportunity.
@@AKSBSU All of the games you've mentioned add an extra layer of atmosphere to create a bubble of sound, in my opinion Horizon FW does it the best as it makes use of the height channels the most. Looking forward to hearing and comparing a natively crafted dolby atmos mix (maybe Spider-Man 2 or AC Mirage) instead of what's happening here which is a conversion. The tempest 3D sound mix / object data packed in a Dolby container (DD plus or TrueHD). 3D audio mixes in games on PS4 & PS5 up to this point have all been optimised for heaphones and TV speakers (virtual surround sound) only, when the audio team creates a proper optimised for home cinema mix I suspect the results will be even better!
Rain is also coming from the top when you are in the cockpit viel w in GT7.
Hogwarts also sounds very good.
All we need now is dolby vision
Series x have had it since forever, and it’s brighter than hdr.. it’s not worth the hype though
I never use it on Xbox because almost always HDR is a better optimized setting
But imagine HDR10+ support.
@@lkfayzdepends the game and also there's a slight input lag when using it. It actually puts me off of using it sometimes. It is nice sometimes better depending on the game but not always. It's all down to the devs putting in support for it / making the game with it in mind.
And VRR under 48hz. And full RGB in 120hz without chroma
My guess is that most 3d audio for the ps5 was intended for headphones so the dynamic range is much more narrow. The hope is that new games in the future are created with home theater wide dynamic range. Returnal thinks im using tv speakers with 3d audio when im using an AVR 5.1.2 system and its set that way in the ps5 settings
Same with Uncharted 4 and plenty of 3rd party games
Great content thanks ….and in 4kHDR double great subscribed now
Thank you so much! 😎 I love the latest tech so I enjoy using it in my video production too 👍
In Demon's Souls I found that one of the best places to observe 3D audio is in world 1-2 (Lord's Path) when the red dragon flies over ahead and torched the path.
Hi Horyzun 👋 oh that’s cool. Thank you for sharing. I’ll definitely check it out 😎
Do I need to enable 3D audio in game menu to benefit from Atmos?
Hello! 🙂 No the PS5 will automatically chose and convert the correct audio. As soon as the PS5 sees that a game uses tempest 3D audio it will use this information for Atmos output.
I don't have the beta, but I'm looking forward to trying it out. I have a Vizio OLED/ Elevate soundbar combo that is compatible with practically every format and codec, including Dolby Atmos and DTS: X along with Dolby Vision and HDR10+.
Hi AKSBSU 👋 that’s great. You’ll definitely hear the difference when your sound bar gets the Dolby Atmos signal. Even older games become more alive again 😎
It’s literally free to sign up lol
@@jayw.1042 I did sign up for "literally free" and didn't receive anything.
For those of you who hav e switched over to Dolby atmos for gaming on the ps5, there is currently no game out right that has a full Dolby atmos mix, so pretty much every game will sound better on Dolby audio or dts depending on your system, I have the Sonos surround sound system with Dolby atmos and no game I tried sounded better with Dolby atmos on, BUT I’ve been playing the new Spiderman 2 game the last two days and MANNN! That game i believe is the first ps5 game with full Dolby atmos mix and it sounds incredible, the atmos setting for this game definitely sounds better than dts and Dolby audio, everything sounds so realistic and the 3d audio is amazing, I have era 300s as rears and gen 3 sub with arc and it’s amazing, this is the only game I’ve sent that takes full advantage of atmos
Been playing today on the Sonos Atmos system, very rich sound in RE4.
Xbox Atmos is delayed, it’s terrible. PS seems to be spot on
Hi livibam 👋 Thank you for sharing your experience. Hopefully now that PS5 has Atmos it will wake Microsoft up and finally fix Atmos for Xbox (&Windows btw as well). 😊
This is a great video.
So I tested Atmos with the final patch released yesterday and found that although 3D effects are present it lacks punchy bass and the overall presentation sounds a little tinny. Im connected using the JBL Bar 800.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this.
Hi Mason! Thank you so much 😊 I have heard from other people having less punchy bass too. It does change the sound atmosphere compared to regular surround but in my setup I find the bass still as deep. Maybe you can add a little bass in your jbl settings to get the old punch back. Atmos will be even better as soon as games support it directly. I’m personally hoping that Spider-Man 2 will do so and maybe capcom is giving us a patch for the resident evil games. Fingers crossed 😊
@@SamDansCouch Im hoping that newer games really will improve on the Atmos presentation. Hoping too that Spider Man 2 delivers.
I’vea 7.1.2 sonus faber set up with marantz AVR so i think it would definitely change my gaming experience and make it more immersive
Nice setup 😎👍 you’ll definitely hear the difference. It all around has more punch with Dolby Atmos enabled. Extra fun for us surround sound people 😁
Couple of questions, how does the atmos support compare with using neural x? I assume it should be a step up? The downside I assume will be that atmos only works if the game has 3d audio whereas neural x is upmixing atmos into every game.
Second question is does anyone know why the audio options are greyed out when going from pcm to atmos? Surely the speaker placement options are still important when using atmos? Not sure what the logic in greying them out is? As my greyed out sound options still say “5.1” the receiver says atmos so it is obviously receiving an atmos signal but still, the lack of speaker options seems concerning?
Hi Luke 👋 the Atmos conversion works best if the game already featured 3D sound before. If it didn’t it will fall back to regular 5.1/7.1. It sounds better in my setup compared to neural x which put wrong sounds and voices sometimes in my Atmos ceiling speakers. Don’t worry about the speaker placements being greyed out. Atmos uses the speaker placement information from your AV receiver settings instead 😎
@@SamDansCouch cheers for the reply 😊 all makes sense to me! Neural x for me barely adds anything lol… I have been playing mafia 3 and it sounds no different now than before when neural x was on.
I have a Samsung soundbar q930b, anyone knows, its work fine ? The soundbar has 9.1 but i never teste the Full capacity😢 ty greetings from Brasil
Hello 👋 yes your sound bar can do Atmos so it should work with PS5s Atmos audio output 👍
@@SamDansCouch ty 😁👍
Great Video! Is there a way to get a beta key to test this out. I have also the rz 50 in my setup..
Update: I believe Apple TV app has added Atmos support when watching movies on PS5
Hello giacintorenta! 🙂Thank you for the update, that's great news! As it is I play tested the new Avatar game on PS5 yesterday (free trial period right now) and it makes beautiful use of Dolby Atmos including the hight channels. Good times 😎
@@SamDansCouchwill you beta test personalised 3D audio using headphones? Beta got released yesterday
@@giacintorenta7579 I was actually thinking about it. I got my invite yesterday for it. I'll look into it 😎
Is there any accesory cealing speaker for the soundbar LG SNR7 ??
Hi GAMING+ ! No, the sound bar, which does Atmos, will try to emulate the missing ceiling speakers through its upfiring speakers that reflect off your ceiling and some software magic. It won't be the same dramatic effect though as having physical speakers which you can't connect additionally though. For that you'll need a dedicated AV Receiver that supports Atmos.
@@SamDansCouch thanks
Which option we should change in audio options? Dts, etc..? For my nova pro wireless headset
For headphones just go into the 3D headphones settings in the PS5 settings. Not much has changed for headphones since 3D sound was always supported here 🙂
Should you activate 3D audio for headphones on the bottom left above volume at 3:40 as well when cahnging the audio output to dolby atmos from PCM?
Hi 👋🏻 Sony made it super simple. You only need to activate Atmos in the system settings and for the games the PS5 will automatically get the 3D Audio from older games and turn it to atmos. So I wouldn’t recommend switching older games to headphones output manually. PS5 will take care of everything itself 😎
silly question is better to plug the ps5 to hdmi 2.1 while reciever on earc hdmi 3 ans switch ps5 output to dolby atmos? when I do that sometime my audio on my soundbar dropout for few second then return but its not bad but can be annoying or what setup do you have ps5 directly plug in reciever or tv?
Hi Kurobloodedge! I wouldn’t do eARC for video games since this may introduce lag or drop outs. I have my PS5 plugged into my Receiver first and then the receiver is connected to the tv making sure the audio and video signal arrive at the same time. I’d try that for your set up as well 👍
@@SamDansCouch Thanks for quick response and that do makes sense
Great video thank you for your feedback going to hold off on a couple of games till the update goes live as I don’t like to replay most games
Hi Rui! 🙂Thank you! 😎 Yes I won't be replaying all of the older titles either, especially since so many cool new games are coming out soon. But it's nice of Sony to support old titles and not just say "Atmos supported only for games released today and in the future". 🙂
Unfortunate but also understandable 💙 hope you enjoy for sure
Any idea why this wouldn't work? I also have an Onkyo and when I check the audio info it says that it is still stereo. The Dolby Audio setting works but Dolby Atmos does not.
Oh geez I'm an idiot. I was looking at the output. The input was Atmos after all but I had pressed the music button on my remote and turned it to stereo by mistake. Those modes are kinda dumb. It should be true to whatever the input is
Hi Jason!@@jasonpickens9839 Im glad you could figure it out. My first thought was that button too. It is sometimes so easy to hit it by accident or somebody else might have pressed it on your remote without you noticing it right away. Then output is stereo no matter what comes in. Glad its fixed now 😎👍
Does the dolby atmos on ps5 work with headphones too? So far I haven't noticed a difference at all in my headphones when turning atmos on. The tempest 3d audio is already amazing so I don't see the point in atmos.
Hi Mr Self Destruct 👋 Since Atmos on PS5 right now uses the tempest 3D information, it is for headphones indeed identical. Right now it’s primarily for soundbars and home movie set ups. When Netflix and co come around and games directly supporting Atmos that’s when it makes sense to use it for headphones too. 👍
Hi! Can i ask what TV are you using ? Im experiencing alot of audio delay when i turn any other than linear PCM on my PS5 :(... Im using samsung q990b soundbar via arc on to my samsung q70r TV which only has hdmi 2.0 and not 2.1 eArc. Im wondering is that the reason im getting latency on the audio. The tv also doesnt support pass through audio so it has to be set PCM, Dolby digital or Dolby digital +
Hi teemu! Im using an LG OLED E7 which has served me well over the years and passes through Atmos. eARC will be better for sure. You don’t need HDMI 2.1 though for no latency. I’m running HDMI 2.0 as well. Audio delay can be so annoying. The PS5 thankfully is not at fault. Sony did a good job here. With your tv not being able to pass through Atmos, are you maybe able to plug the PS5 directly into the soundbar and ARC back into the TV? That might help if your soundbar has HDMI inputs.
@@SamDansCouch I quess i will try it but im afraid plugging the ps5 to the soundbar and then to the TV will add input lag or some visual issues. Maybe my 2019 model samsung Tv is just getting too old :D
@@teemutiihonen5895i know it sucks when one component is new and makes you upgrade all your other equipment too. Try using the sound bar input. Maybe that will just do the trick 😊
From the few games I tested.
1. Ghost of Tsushima
So far it's still the best game out of Sony's first party library for this 3D audio. It already sounded great but this now it sounds even more filling. I used it as reference to calibrate the decibel levels on each of my surround speakers.
2. Days Gone
I played this for about 30 - 45 minutes or so. Nothing incredible was happening but definitely added more of a 3D space to the world. One cutscene I watched took place in a cabin and the audio certainly boomed a little bit more than it would have on regular PCM. It basically sounded like the sound was reflecting off the interior walls and ceiling which didn't exactly sound great but it is what it is. But again I've noticed that this 3D audio implementation doesn't allow the user to lock dialogue to the center channel speaker and it's very annoying hearing voices come out of left, right and center all at once.
I didn't get a thunderstorm though unfortunately and I have a feeling that the audio for that specifically will sound better than any other game.
3. The Last of Us Part 1
Now you would think that Naughty Dog would have the best version of this 3D audio because they are wizards and there soundscapes usually sound better than any other game the majority of the time. It doesn't seem to be the case here especially since the back environment audio is very quiet when setting the game to max dynamic range. Now of course I could change the settings and make the dynamic range more narrow which I may try later on but I don't prefer that at all in any game and my system is perfectly capable to using the maximum setting. This game also features an even worse case of dialogue coming from front channels along with the center and you can almost hear it overlapping with an echo, super annoying. I did however get some also height channel water drops falling from the interior roof of the Pittsburgh hotel into the water below men, now that sounded fucking awesome.
4. Cyberpunk 2077
Pretty decent implantation. All sounds are very evenly spaced throughout the environment. When V talks the sound seems like it plays from every speaker like you're inside his head which is honestly pretty cool. Other NPC's voices can be a bit loud though in conversations. But other than that walking around the city sounds great especially with Chinese announcements echoing through the streets.
And last but certainly not least...
5. Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare
Seriously, wow and wow. I thought this would sound like it always does which is pretty great but oh man this sounds awesome with Atmos turned on! It definitely doesn't support Atmos itself natively but CoD always used Dolby Digital for mastering their audio. The soundscape is greatly enhanced. From enemy ships zooming by you, getting shot at in a cockpit of a Jackal, the audio of other soldiers and crewmates to the wind swept cliffs of Mars. The audio is outstanding now and I was not expecting it. It made the game I love even better.
It's seeming like more and more that they will really have to refine this to make these games sound better in the future. It is only a Beta after all so hopefully that happens.
Hey Games of Today! 🙂Thank you for writing down your own experience. 👍It is so nice to have 3D sounds for so many games already. And it will be even better once new games directly support Atmos from the get go.
I tested Dolby Atmos on my 5.1.2 system and compared to regular 5.1 through MPCM, I noticed that it does a small volume bump, It's not as clear and precise as MPCM, and it pans through the different speakers way faster than MPCM (Not in a good way). I wonder if it's because it doesn't know my speaker positionning (Even if I calibrated my receiver). The advantage of using regular 5.1, is that you can accuratly set your speakers position in the PS5 settings and since the PS5 itself is decoding the signal and sending it as raw MPCM according to that accurate speaker map, I feel like it's way more accurate. I also wonder how they deal with Dolby Atmos for Games limitations (less objects than just using Tempest as is). I sure hope it will get better for games that are mixed in Dolby Atmos, because right now, the tradeoff is not worth it for me.
Hi Flyback777 👋🏻 thank you for sharing your detailed experience. I haven’t had any positioning problems with my set up. I just played some more games and every enemy I encountered was in the right place according to my “sound dome”. I never used the PlayStation speaker placement settings. I did though very detailed oriented set up my surround sound 5.1.4 with Dirac live and a UMIK-1 microphone. In the end we are getting the tempest 3d sound converted to Dolby Atmos and from what I experienced the implementation of tempest 3d varies in quality depending what game you play. The more developers use tempest 3d the better the sound placements will surely become. I’m already very happy with it and glad Sony finally thought of us surround sound enthusiasts 😎👍
Will this now unlock atmos surround sound speakers for psvr2 ?
Hello 👋 I get some overhead speaker sound from Horizon. Other games like Pistol whip only output regular surround sound. Very game dependent and so far no native Dolby Atmos VR games out yet sadly.
Hi Jacob! Thank you 😊The only way to get a key right now is through Sony’s website where you can apply to take part in the beta test. Give it a try, Sony sends out new keys daily 😊 www.playstation.com/en-us/ps5/ps5-beta-program-sign-up/
Thank you!
I have a 5.1.2 Setup but the "Atmos" speakers are only up firing sitting on the fronts. What should i choose in the PS5 menu? 5.1 or 7.1? Also....if if i choose Atmos, the menu for the amount of speakers is greyed out. So how will the Ps5 know, how many speakers i have and where they are?
Hi Freeman! Don't worry, the PS5 Atmos settings takes all the information from your receiver settings, no need for the PS5 to have extra speaker settings any more. Just chose "Atmos" as Audio output inside the PS5 Audio menu and if your receiver shows Atmos as well everything is correctly set up 😎👍
@@SamDansCouch i don‘t think that my PS5 get the information via eARC over my TV how many speakers i have, that 2 atmos are only upfiring and where all those speakers are. Instead of my Series X Dolby Atmos is always active on my PS5 on matter what i am playing or doing.
So I have a question. I have a 5.1 surround system that supports Dolby Atmos. Do I get the same sense of 3D sound like when I use the PS5 headphones? I mean, that I can here steps from behind me , or from the sides? I mean, today I output DTS from the PS5 and I get sound from front and back during the game, depending on my character position. I think Sony mentioned that some of the games will get Dolby Atmos pathces
Hi ramiyohay7286 👋 That is a good question. You will definitely benefit from turning on Atmos even if you don’t have the full setup with ceiling speakers (yet). Atmos uses as many or as little speakers in your setup to create 3D sound around you. So yes it will sound more spacial like it would with headphones compared to regular Dolby/DTS 5.1 👍
@@SamDansCouch Waited a long time for this patch. Thanks for the answer! great video!
@@ramiyohay7286 Thank you 😎 I hope it gets released soon so that you can enjoy it with your setup. You won’t be disappointed 👍
when is this releasing? or how do we join 😮
Hello! You can join the beta here: www.playstation.com/en-us/ps5/ps5-beta-program-sign-up/ Final release date hasn’t been determined yet.
Thank you. Ah seems I have to be in one of the approved Countries :(
Great video! Have you tried Rift Apart? Really hoping for that one.
Hi SantianoBe 👋🏻 I just played some of Rift apart and can confirm that this title sounds really got in Atmos. Way more spacious plus height speaker support as well 😎👍
@@SamDansCouch Ah, awesome! Played it 4 times now. Most likely won't get another one until PS6. But really nice that this one is good with Atmos. Been waiting for atmos support on PS5 since November 2020 (Launch). So this is awesome. Thanks! Really appreciate the update.
@@SantianoBe yes I feel the same way. Played it to death already 😊 but they really did a great job, graphic and audio are top notch. I’m happy that the PlayStation finally supports Atmos. It was long overdue.
@@SamDansCouch Couldn't agree more!
As someone who hasn’t been able to get the beta yet, thanks for this video! How was Shadow of the Tomb Raider with the update?
Hi 504cool 👋Thank you for watching 🤗 I unfortunetly don't have Shadow of the Tomb Raider on PS5. I played through it on my Xbox Series X with Dolby Atmos enabled and it was very very good. I expect the PS5 version to have the same quality of sound. I hope you can get a code soon as well so that you can try it out too. It is a lot of fun.
@@SamDansCouch for me the only drawback to playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider on PS5 Was that it wasn’t in Atmos. I have it on Xbox also, but prefer the controls on PlayStation.
Have fun and enjoy the new update man 👍🏾
Thank you @@504cool 🙂 Yes that was my main reason to get it on the Xbox, the Atmos sound. It adds a lot of atmosphere in the game. I'm glad the PS5 is getting Atmos now to be on par with Xbox in the audio world 😎
@@SamDansCouch agreed. It’d be great if they got Dolbyvision Gaming next.
@@504cool yes that would be awesome. Hopefully that's next 😎
Un grand merci à toi pour avoir donner tes impressions sur le Dolby atmos avec un vrai 5.1.4, je n'ai pas trouvé de youtubeurs français.

Hi Skwal7691! Thank you for your kind words 😊I hope you can give the new firmware a try soon too. It is a major difference in the surround sound department. You’ll love it 😊
J'attends avec impatience pour l'instant c'est le dts neuralx
@@skwal7691 Yes that is the best option right now until the new firmware if available for everyone. I hope its soon. I want everyone to enjoy this 😁
Great video, do you know if this is gonna work with Dolby Atmos compatible headphones?
Hi alonzoesparza23 👋🏻 Thank you so much 😊 And that is a very good question! When you have your headphones plugged in you can indeed select Dolby Atmos as audio output format. Even works with none Dolby Atmos certified headphones, wired and wireless. 👍
Would you use dolby or default for warzone for better footstep audio
@@troybywater2174 i would use Dolby, sounds can be located very well in this mode with my set up. I always use Dolby Atmos for COD on Xbox as well. Unless you go headphones then it’s back to Sonys tempest 3d audio like before.
Just ordered more speakers and a new amp since this update, interested what’s your 5.1.2 speaker placement like?
Hello R1ckmister! Oh that is exciting. What speakers and receiver did you get? I have 5.1.4 in my room (2 pairs of ceiling speakers) plus the Onkyo RZ50 AV receiver plus speakers from Monitor Audio. I’ve reviewed my surround set up on this channel too if you are interested 😊
@@SamDansCouch I will certainly take a look! I went for an upgrade from an Onkyo RZ740 to an NR7100 and added 2 additional satellites to my already monitor audio 5.1 MASS gen 2 system.
Just really confused as I see some say place the atmos behind and others in front up high with a toe in towards the listening space.
I would love your MA bookshelf’s someday but space limited currently.
@@R1ckmister Oh that sounds nice and you got Monitor Audios too, awesome. I went for the Bronze 100s and really love them. I have them toed in a little bit (left and right) and it produces a nice and big sound stage. I have my ceiling speakers above and in front of my listening position since I can’t go further back with my set up either (couch is against the wall) but it works. Nothing wrong with having to adjust to the features of your living room. Room correction does a fair bit correcting placements of speakers too. You will definitely like Dolby Atmos on the PS5 😎
@@SamDansCouch your channel now has me looking to source a UMIK-1 too 😂
Brilliant work my dude! Look forward to future upload now I’m a subscriber.
@@R1ckmister Thank you R1ckmister! ☺️ Yes the UMIK-1 is definitely worth it. I love our hobbies 😁
From my experience DTS neural x up mixing is way more impactful then their atmos implementation. Hopefully they can fix this because so far it seems to be serval db's too low. Im running a denon x4700h, monolith 7x amp, 2 svs pb16 ultras (subs), 1 12" klipsch (sub) forget which one, 4 rp-280fa's, 1 rp-450c, and 2 rp-502s. This is my 7.1.4 or 7.3.4 depending how you look at it. The 280fa has up firing for those who don't know.
Hi godhand6510 👋 You got a really cool set up. My experience was so so with neural X. It kept mixing things into my height channels that should never belong there. Sonys Dolby Atmos sounds so much better for me. And now with this update developers are also able to use Dolby Atmos directly in games without using tempest 3D audio conversion so it might be even more impactful in the future.
@SamDansCouch that is what i am 🙏 for, and thank you.
So update roll out today. I have Dolby Atmos sounbar with rear speakers. Setup is 5.1.4 but I cant get Dolby Atmos to work. It works nice on blu rays. TV doesnt say Dolby Atmos either Soundbar. Not in menu not in game. I tested AC: Origins which should have Atmos support. Any tips? Up firing speakers are silent. My soundbar is Samsung HW Q700B. If Im trying just TV speakers it works fine. TV says Dolby Atmos is working. Its just with soundbar pluged in. Also sound lag is the same as before. It rly seems like it doesnt even recognize Im changing setting to Atmos.
Hello 👋 I’d check the TV’s settings and sound bar settings again. As soon as you set the PS5 to Dolby Atmos the TV should always show Dolby Atmos sound input no matter what game you are playing. Even on the PS5 menu. I hope you can get it sorted out. 👍
@@SamDansCouch Ive been playing with this whole day and no solution. I watched over every setting and idk what the problem is. Its like my sound output doesnt even notice that Im changing sound to Atmos. Like no beep or crack etc. It just stays the same as Dolby Audio. As I said when I unplug soundbar TV automaticly pick up Atmos but when I plug sounbar back Atmos just goes off. Also Atmos works just fine with blu rays etc on PS5 and from other sources. Its just this update of "native" support...Im rly sad about it I was waiting years for that.
@@ferdys1705 that sucks. The combination of out tv, sound bar and PS5 must somehow confuse each other. Hopefully the firmware being out now for everyone problems like these will get noticed and fixed. Really sounds like a software problem. My PS5 goes directly into my AVR and then into the TV.
I think I tried every possible combination of connection And options 😀
@@ferdys1705I’m sorry that sucks. Different HDMI cable standards and different supported audio standards can be such an annoying thing. If you can maybe try connecting the PS5 directly to the sound bar and eARC the sound and picture into your tv. Should at least get rid of any lag. Also make sure the TV is in game mode with no picture enhancing. That can cause lag too.
My TV (LGC3) supports dolby atmos, do i just turn on the option for dolby atmos on my ps5 and im good to go?
Hi Andy! That’s correct. Just switch the PS5 to Dolby Atmos output and the PlayStation will do the rest 👍
@@SamDansCouch thank you for the reply!! i assume using the tv speakers wont highten the experience as much as having various speakers located around the room? but im hoping it should give me a much better audio experience than I currently have
@@AJ-MOZZA No problem 🙂Yes, it won't blow your mind as much when using only TV speakers. It will definitely sound more 3D-ish but don't be disappointed because it won't be a night and day difference. It all depends on the setup. Still it's really cool to have and worth turning on when you have the option. My LG TV has the option for Atmos too and it was a nice improvement! 🙂
@@SamDansCouch i will definitely give it a try, i dont have the beta though unfortunately, is there a solid release timeframe for the new update yet?
@@AJ-MOZZA I don't have an exact date but it can't be far away. The beta is super stable for me and has been updated around four times since I made this video. So it should come out soon. Fingers crossed. I want everyone to experience Atmos on the PS5 already 🙂
Will that dolby atmos work for samsung Q600A?
Yes 👍
This will enhance my a80k tv even if i don't have a sound system right?
Hey Vinnie! 👋 I dont think it will make much of a difference just with the TV speakers alone. Your A80K can pass through Dolby Atmos per HDMI to an Atmos sound bar or of course an AV receiver.
@SamDansCouch thx, because ps5 has dolby atmos now so I selected it as it let me, I think the sounds hits a bit more defined in certain areas ?
Should I just keep that over pcm?
@@VinnieDiRubbaif you hear the difference then I’d leave it at Atmos 👍 It’s supposed to place the sound better around you so big win. Enjoy! 🎉😊
Hello there, how do you think this will improve standard TV speakers from a B2 lg oled?
Hi OutKastWill2012 😊 it will definitely be an improving since the Lg OLEDS can make use of the Dolby Atmos signal directly. Should give more clarity/better sound stage and more exciting sound.
@@SamDansCouch I haven't really been able to get a good sense of it. Since ps5 doesn't support it yet and for some reason the webos apps sound very low on volume on atmos even at 100
@@OutKastWill2012 the LG OLED speakers are not terrible but tv speakers can never be super clear especially when trying to emulate surround sound. It’s better than nothing but I never use my internal speakers either. For the best sound you need a good sound bar or even better an av receiver setup. Nothing beats having multiple speakers set up for true cinematic sound 😊
I have a Bose soundbar 600, should i set the audio output to soundbar or AV amplifier?
Sound bar is the correct setting here.
You should make a video of your surround sound.
Hi infox6671! Thank you for your interest. 🙂 I actually made several videos about my set up I have, if you would like to check them out:

It works great with GTA V! Everything sounds more natural and less constricted to discreet speakers. Makes it a lot more immersive.
Hi DODI3OG 😊 Thank you for sharing your experience! 👍 It does make a big difference. A great update for all PS5 owners.
@@SamDansCouch I wonder why it took them this long. Maybe it's because of Dolby recently lifting Atmos royalties.
@@DODI3OG yes I believe so too that licensing played a big role in this. At least we finally get it. I hope it will be released soon for everyone to enjoy it 😊👍
@@SamDansCouch Sounds really great playing Black Ops Cold War with Tempest 3D HRTF and Atmos codec. I was having a blast yesterday.
@@DODI3OG that’s great to hear. Especially in shooting games it’s handy to hear where your enemy is or hear the drones fly over your head 😎👍
My sound bar has dobly audio, is that the same thing as dobly atmos?
Hi Joshda039 😊 It needs to state “Atmos” to support the 3D spatial sound. Maybe check your soundbar manual to double check. Regular Dolby audio will be surround too just not the Atmos version. For regular Dolby you can select “Dolby audio” in the sound settings of the firmware to match your soundbar 👍
@@SamDansCouch Ah ok, thanks 🙂
ooooo man😢. If someone can share a Code for EU would really appreciate it. I got a 11.2.4 setup and would really like to test this new feature. If someone would be so kind to share his EU Code per PM would really appreciate it.
Anyone who doesn’t have a tv capable of VRR go and get one along with a atmos sound system because you will be missing out massively
And I just purchased a premium headset without Atmos, damn
Any headset/ headphones can take advantage of Dolby Atmos, at least on Xbox.
headset is just a stereo speaker, 99.9% of the headphones/headsets are this way. You can still have Dolby Atmos since Dolby Atmos for headphones are virtually calculated, you just have to enable it in the PS5.
Hi Fr0gg0 👋🏻 no worries, your headset will work with surround sound as well. Just like @versaleyang said 😎👍
I wouldn't worry about that. Tempest already has that covered for headsets. Give Returnal a try with a good headset and you won't worry about this again.
Really wish they release dolby Vision too
That would be great. Might be that Sony doesn’t want to pay the licensing fee though.
@@SamDansCouch they already do with their TVs though. Majority of Sony TVs already have DV. So I literally don’t understand why they won’t add it to the ps5. Unless it’s more fees they gotta pay, but then doesn’t make sense either- since they adding atmos.
@@BigJugsRule92 I think that’s what it all comes down to, licensing. Dolby Atmos right now is also only used as a translation layer to output Sonys own 3d sound format tempest 3d. Microsoft has vision and Atmos. I personally don’t find the difference with dolby vision in games that big but for ultra blu rays and streaming it would be very nice. Maybe we will get lucky down the road just like we are getting Atmos now. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
@@SamDansCouch that’s a good point. But at this point if they’re gonna add one Dolby service, they might as well add both. Especially if they’re trying to compete with Xbox. Dolby gaming is new, but you do notice a difference when gaming on it. It looks much more vibrant.
If the game supports tempest 3d audio, then activate atmos. If not, use dolby or dts. If you have 7.1 speakers, atmos won't activate them unless the game supports tempest. Very disappointing. It's not fully backwards compatible with 7.1. 5.1 works, your fine. But i feel dolby or dts is better unless the game has tempest built in.
Xbox series x says it has Dolby vision
Yes Xbox has both Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. Will be interesting to see if Sony will adopt Dolby Vision too 😊
Nice video
Thank you 😊
I thought atmos on ps5 only works for playing blue ray movies only not games
Hi Cycloneyou! 👋 Since the latest firmware update Sony finally lets game and app developers use Dolby Atmos as well. Good times 😎
Actually, 5.1 surround sound is much higher quality than 7.1 and Dolby Atmos.
Depends on the content.
Many films and games are natively mixed in Dolby Atmos or 7.1, so 5.1 is a downgrade.
On the other hand, upmixing from 5.1 to 7.1 or Atmos can often sound worse than plain 5.1. And some films with Atmos remixes sound worse than the original 7.1, 5.1 or even 2.0 mix.
Anyone got a uk code?

Hello adem0877! 🙂You should be able to use the subtitle function of RUclips which can translate in real time. Thank you for watching 🙂
Technically, you shouldn't hear rain above you from a mixing standpoint. Rain makes no sound as it falls, and what you hear is when rain hits things. So if there's nothing above you in the game for rain to hit, you should hear thunder above... but the sound of rain hitting objects around you. If, however, you're in a forest, you would hear rain hitting the leaves above you. Whether that's actually reflected in the game depends on the devs and their audio engine.
Hi TheReverendSlim, it just doesn’t use the ceiling speakers for atmosphere. They could have done the rain drops hitting the umbrella depending on how your game camera is positioned, or the surround sound of weather in general. The Dolby Atmos video demos are mixed this way and some movies do this too. It is all mixing thing and always depends on the sound guy of each game and movie as well. It is cool though that the tempest 3D translates so well into Dolby Atmos. A great addition even for older games 😊
@@SamDansCouch Mixing for games is way different than mixing for movies, but point taken. They could have put a little environmental sound above the viewport so that it translated both to Tempest and when ported out to Atmos.
its quite worthless having atmos without atmos for headphones since people mostly gaming with headphones, and probably one out of ten thousand ps5 owners have a proper atmos setup.
playstation spacial audio is better than atmos...
This update is mainly for home theater output so people with a good receiver or soundbar can output better sound from the PS5.
Both are very similar in terms of what they are doing and capable of.
At the end it doesn’t really matter.
