But can you connect your display over Displayport and a Dolby Atmos soundbar over HDMI and make it work? Because HDMI 2.0b on ASUS PA32UCX display doesn't have enough bandwidth to process 4k60 FPS 10bit 4:4:4, so I have to use Displayport for 4k60 FPS 10bit 4:4:4.
Great video however when I try to connect to my pc it shows not compatible. I'm using sonos beam 2 with supplied adapter connected to realtek digital optical out on Z690 mobo. Any suggestions what I need to do to get Atmos working.
super helpful and straight to the point thank you!
Hi, have a problem with connection. I've connected soundbar via HDMI to PC, but soundbar is not visible sound control panel. I tried to connect it via HDMI port on motherboard and also graphic card (Radeon RX7800XT). I see there only monitor (the first option in your list), but nothing else what is connected via HDMI. Any idea why can not see it?
Not sure if I'm getting Atmos from my PC with my setup. This is it:
> Soundbar's eArc connected to TV's eArc (Samsung HW-Q990B)
> PC RTX 3080 Ti's HDMI 2.1 port connected to TV's HDMI 2.0 port (I have 4 HDMI 2.0 ports on my TV, 1 of which has eArc).
I feel like it does work, but it's kinda hard to tell. It does say that Atmos is enabled when I use my TV as the source (which could be because it's also Atmos-capable... doesn't really matter that Atmos with just TV speakers doesn't really work). With the 7.1 testvideo the top sounds do come from the upfiring speakers, though the 'from above' sounds do seem somewhat limited from that video. But with that demo video of sounds going all around you and whatnot I can the 'from above' sounds pretty clearly. Still, I dunno if it's placebo or if it actually works properly with the setup.
when i try to test it in config it doesnt play any sound but it still works as stereo
Thanks for this video. If you're still using W11 + soundbar can you tell me what you have in the W11 sound settings menu for Format, Audio Enhancement and Spatial Sound? You can find this by selecting your sound source from Output, which brings you to System>Sound>Properties. I have those 3 as Dolby Atmos, Device Default Effects and Dolby Atmos. Wondering if there is some overkill here. Thanks
About Upmixing, with or without upmixing im always hearing rears and fronts together in some demos (the dolby 5.1.2 test tone drom demolandia..)
Great video 🍻
The HD Furry Arcana is awesome. Saved me from having to purchase another TV. Have you done a video about the device?
Thanks Bread. Yeah it sure is. I’ve mentioned it in other videos but not done a full video.
Thanks for the explanation. Will this setting give lossless Dolby Atmos TrueHD quality?
Now if graphics cards could just support HDMI CEC out of the box so that PC aren't so clunky to use as a media center. Only option is the Pulse Eight CEC adapter that doesn't support HDMI 2.1
100% agree! PC’s could be the perfect media centre but are lacking those capabilities. Hopefully in the near future windows will add that support and manufactures will create the parts.
you can use a dp to hdmi cable from your GPU dp port to the hdmi of the soundabar , and use is as a audio sorce , the hdmi from the pc to the tv for a picture , and bam
@@deadscene1 DP from my GPU to HDMI arc of the soundbar? Need a DPI to HDMI cable?
@@deadscene1 thats how I have mine set up, but I have a 7.1.4 system and still only get 7.1. The side channels are coming from the up firing speakers at the rear, so its not true ATMOS, they really need to update this so you can use more than just 7.1.
I am sure it won't but just for confirmation...will it work with hdmi 1.4 (on my pc) ?
Directly connect to sound bar EARC port to our GPU''s HDMI port ??? Will it work ?
I use samsung qn90b + soundbar q600c. When i enable dolby atmos on windows 11 sound is delay. I use dolby access trial version. How do I fix this or do I have to buy the full version?
What's the difference in getting Dolby Atmos from PC to a normal receiver vs Dolby Atmos receiver?
Does that mean that everytime I want Atmos in my HT I require to connect my PC to it?
Mate I was going great with your tutorial but when I go to the 'Spacial sound' tab the 'Dolby Atmos for Home Theatre' setting wasn't there for me to tic. All I got was a 'Windows Sonic for Headphones' and an 'Off' option 😔
Same here 😔
Hello friend. 4 months passed but for people who have same problem let me share my experience. I had a same issue but I fixed it. Let me just say what I did to fix it.
1. used 1 hdmi cable to connect PC's graphic card hdmi port to any hdmi port on tv. (Dont use eArc or Arc just a normal hdmi port)
2. used another hdmi cable to connect Another PC's graphic card hdmi port to the soundbar where it says HDMI INPUT (basically my graphic card has 2 hdmi ports and most will have 2 like me)
3. used the remote controller for soundbar to change ARC to HDMI4 (for me HDMI4 was the cable that directly connect between the graphic card and the soundbar)
4. Check it again then you will see "Dolby Atmost for Home Theater"
ok but what is sound only working on Dolby Access Program? I mean ONLY there, like on youtube or somwhere else are no sound. ( I use HDMI and DENON AVR-2310 Receiver witch supports Dolby True HD and DTS HD) but when I enable Dolby Atmos the receiver shows that Atmos is recognized. When I play the music or something like that, the speaker make little noise for a second and nothing.
I've have atmos on dolby access app & some contents like warzone or compatible music player on vlc..
but whats the secrete for keep work under disney plus or youtube etc??
I have connected my first output RTX 4080 to an LG OLED C3 TV via HDMI 2.1 port 1, and then to a soundbar via HDMI eARC port 2. Dolby Access is installed and working fine,
pls whats the optimal settings for my TV, soundbar, and PC chain.
Currently, I have Bitstream mode and Atmos enabled on my TV/soundbar which is sending sound through LG's special orchestra mode via HDMI 2.1 eARC on port 2. Dolby Atmos!
Any suggestions or tips on how to properly configure this setup would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Josh luv your channel 👏🏻👍
Please do a video on the HD Furry Arcana setup 😩
I have an older projector 1080p and Samsung Q950A
Thanks Man! 😊 What was the reason you got the Arcana? The Samsung Q950a has an HDMI input which would do away with the need for the Arcana. You would plug the projector into the HDMI Out (eARC) port and your media player such as an Apple TV or Nvidia shield etc into the HDMI IN. The Arcana is more for those that have a Sonos ARC or Bose 900 that doesn’t have an HDMI IN.
Oh wow
No haven’t bought yet
Thanks 🙏 I’ll give it a try 👏🏻👌
@@pbond8827 No worries. Save you some money 😊
Question, if my tv has ARC I would be able to run my HDMI, from my pc, to my TV, & TV to sound bar correct ?
I have this same question. Did you ever find out if ARC is sufficient, or if eARC is required?
Dolby atmos is to emulate surround sound on headphones.
If you have a 5.1 or 7.1 speaker setup atmos should be disabled.
hi, i'm getting crazy: I connect my tv sony to a soundbar sony htx 8500 via ARC port, then i want to use dolby atmos on a pc windows connect via hdmi to the tv, through soundbar using dolby access or dts unbound, but the soundbar don't get recognize by them! How can i resolve? soundbar (arc) > Tv < (hdmi)Pc windows. Thanks! i'm from Italy.
Its buggy af with my receiver when playing games. Though truth be told i don't own any atmos encoded games. I wanted to see if the upmixing was any good but i get constant drop outs and doesn't sound any better than standard windows 5.1 with receiver upmixing to the height channels. Wish someone would come up with software that could perform upmixing for gaming for those of us using receivers and surround sound
Can't get it to work. I never get surround sound with this Dolby Access app. Even with Channel Upmixer off, the TV detects and show me it's getting a DOLBY DIGITAL signal, but the sound stays stereo anyway. Playing videos with ATMOS keeps the setup in stereo mode. I tried tweaking stuff the settings like shown but clicking on the read speakers for example only confirm it's still in stereo. The only way I get my setup to have each individual speakers to have their own stream and sound in surround mode is selecting Speaker Setup 7.1 in windows right click on the volume speaker. Then I get a real surround setup and it plays my ATMOS videos correctly (though it's not detected as such by my TV). Even better, to get it to play your video with ATMOS audio you need to setup your video player to passthrough the Audio without decoding it (and your TV as well in passthrough). In VLC for instance you go into settings /audio / Audio HDMI/SPDIF "passthrough" => Enable. Once you have this activated, you get your audio hardware to detects the ATMOS audio of your video stream and decode it itself. If passthrough is not active your computer decodes the audio via your player before sending it to your soundbar in PCM I believe). So that's how you can play your Atmos audio/videos without even using the Atmos app. (if your sound system is compatible with it of course)
have you solved the problem
ı dont get any sound on the rear speakers
i only get sound on the rear speakers when i choose dolby atmos for headphones
@@gorkman5697 Even better, to get it to play in ATMOS you need to setup your video player to passthrough the Audio (and your TV as well. in VLC for instance you go into settings /audio / Audio HDMI/SPDIF "passthrough".

(when it's not active your computer decodes it before sending it to your soundbar in PCM I believe). So that's how you can play full Atmos audio despite using the Atmos app.
@@Jason_Music Thank you for the fast answer my friend
I am using gaming old pc without any video card
I have vestel old tv and i have samsung q990b
I purchased the dolby access software
Like i said when i choose dolby atmos for headphone,ı get sound all the speakers
If I choose dolby atmos for home theather I get sound only front speaker.
Do ı need a video card .I have been searching all around.I couldnt fınd any solution.If I need a video card how should ı hook up to the samsung ?
@@Jason_Music On vestel tv when I hook up the pc there is no way i can go to tv options
but if my ps3 or tv cable box hooked up to the hdmi there is no problem with going to options
it is so deep i dont understand
Fuck me, awesome short and precise video!
Thanks! I'm not sure it's really that easy (considering all the No-Audio-From-Dolby-Atmos-Game forum posts^^), but at least it's a great start!
Why its not working for me ? It doesnt detect home theater.. only dolby for headphone ? Can u help me
Can I use optical cable on Windows for atmos
No... Has to be through HDMI
My loptop only support hdmi 1.4b, can i pass through the Dolby Atmos sound to sound bar?
Yes
Need some help here. I have an LG C1 TV, a PC with an RTX 3080 and a Samsung HW-Q800B 5.1.2 soundbar that has Dolby Atmos. I have connected my LG C1's eARC port to the soundbar's eARC port with an HDMI 2.1 cable and I have connected my RTX 3080 to one of the HDMI 2.1 ports of the LG C1 again with an HDMI 2.1 cable.
I installed the Dolby Access app and set up the sound output device "LG TV SSCR2 (NVIDIA High Definition Audio)" to have Dolby Atmos for Home Theater. However when I go into the Windows sound settings menu you showed and went into Configure Speakers it does not give the option for Dolby Atmos for home theater over there. I played a few Dolby Atmos video files I downloaded and they sound like stereo. However playing Dolby Atmos enabled content through my TV's native Netflix app does produce Dolby Atmos audio. What am I doing wrong here? How do I get my PC to play Dolby Atmos and also have my TV's apps be able to do the same?
How the sound's of your 800b? How the bass?
@@marko36387 The sound quality is amazing to me. I have never owned anything more than stereo speakers before though so I guess anything better would impress me but still I'm blown away. It fills the room so well when playing 5.1 and Dolby content. Bass is really good too, I can feel it in my chest and the floor. It can even shake the window panes in the room if I turn up the bass amount.
I know this is quite a while ago, but did you ever find a solution for your problem? Thanks
Same here dealing with the same issue similar setup and my Bose app is saying only producing 5.1.2 not Dolby atmos
Will this make any soundbar Atmos capable? Or I need atoms or Dolby soundbar?
you need an atmos compatible soundbar
How I am suppose to connect PC via eARC if my TV is already connected to eARC on AVR?
Exactly. This video makes very little sense for that reason alone.
Hi. Can I get atmos on disney+ app for Windows and netflix?
No
Hey, I want buy a Samsung HW-Q800B soundbar which have 1 basic HDMI 1 arc/e-arc HDMI and a optical. But want it in PC with monitor not tv. My GPU is Amd Radeon Rx 7900 xtx with 2 HDMI and 2 DP ports. My current cheap monitor have only 1 HDMI but will get a LG or cosair OLED 240hz those will have 2 2.1 HDMI. Also maybe My Asus x670e Crosshair Hero have a optical not sure. So my q is can I get Dolby Atmos by my PC with just 1 HDMI PC to soundbar. Or I have to connect PC to soundbar HDMI and soundbar arc/e-arc HDMI to e-arc HDMI converter to monitor HDMI. Or I can't get Dolby Atmos without tv. Samsung random operator said that I need to their q series tv for q series soundbar Dolby Atmos.
Hello i have the LG Home Theater DH4230 and Samsung UA40N5000. How Can I set up With the dolby atmos for home theater
Hey, unfortunately your LG Home Theatre can’t do Dolby Atmos. You’d need to purchase a new home Theatre System to get Atmos Support. Something like the Sonos Arc or Samsung q990b would work. You’d also need a TV that has an eARC port. Or you can plug an Apple TV/ Nvidia shield into the Samsung Q990b. I’ve got a video coming out next week that goes into this more. Cheers
@@archwaytech Dolby digital Plus soundbar capable of producing Atmos from this windows app through optical spdif?
@@atf56 hey man but not atmos is only posible with hdmi
Hello Josh, I have a LG CX and a LG SPD75YA Soundbar. I connected my PC to HDMI 4 port on the TV and the Soundbar is connected with the earc port each(TV eArc port and Soundbar eArc port). Still I dont get any Dolby Atmos sound from the PC. I have a RTX 3060, installed Dolby Access and Dolby Atmos Extention, in the Netflix App from Microsoft Store it says in the content info Dolby Atmos but still not working. What am I doing wrong?
he says easy.. yet 5 months and a bunch of HDMI cables later with a Samsung TV and soundbar, still can't get Dolby Atmos or more than 6 channels.
Have you found any solution?

What apps support atmos on the pc?
That is a good question. Anything playing with the browser will be 2.0 because they don't have the licence. Netflix is playing dolby digital, I don't know about the other apps. For ripped movies or tv shows it's a bit more complicated, I think Kodi can do audio passthrough and send the audio signal directly without any need for licence in the app.
H. Windows is not detecting my soundbar and is detecting my monitor. I am using an rtx 3090 and the Alienware aw34dw. I just hooked up a Vizio 5.1.2 ATMOS system and have a display port to HDMI cable going into the HDMI in, on the soundbar and a high-speed HDMI cable going from the eARC on the soundbar to the monitor. Am I missing something? Is the monitor the problem for only being HDMI 2.0? Please help
Maybe the Display port to HDMI cable is only sending the video signal, try with a normal HDMI cable
I actually figured out a way to bypass the problem. I am using display port for video and then am using an hdmi for sound
I have no sound when i select dolby athmos for home theater onli when i select 5.1 7.1 or stereo ami sugestion ?? i have pc connect on the reciver via HDMI and from reciver on TV . Is right connection ?? aND WHEN I SELECT THE DOLBY athmos mi reciver got the signal DD on screen but no sound.
But when i play video from Dplby Acces sound work but in you tube or mi pc wont work.
Same problem. Did you find a solution?
@@cristianpantano2695 Not yet sory i use another program i waste money on this program :(
@@adriantunaru5877 Hello, I don't know if I can help you, but after searching and searching, it may be that the TrueHD (lossless) format of Dolby Atmos had to do with it. I could not play that format on my computer.
I have connected a Sonos Beam 2 Soundbar to the PC through the HDFury Arcana.
My monitor is Ultrawide and it seems that this is what was causing me a problem, because it seems that either the bar or the Arcana have to work with a certain screen resolution.
When I changed the resolution in my case to 1920 x 1440 in my case, Dolby Atmos for home cinema started to output sound.
To summarize, I would tell you to try changing the screen resolution to see if that is the problem.
I swear I was going crazy, and changing the screen resolution was the last thing on my mind, but I read something about that TrueHD format and they said that the solution was to change the resolution.
I hope it works for you.
Do I need a TV for this? I use a giant monitor.
No you don't need a TV, any monitor will do that has HDMI. You just need to plug the PC into your Soundbar or AMP's HDMI input and then the monitor into the HDMI OUT. Check out this video for more details on that... ruclips.net/video/c5ZtRA1xHEI/видео.html
do i need to buy HD fury if i want to setup soundbar to a gaming monitor via HDMI?
You can run a HDMI cable from GPU directly into your soundbar in the HDMI In port. If you only have 1 HDMI port on your GPU, you can enable the onboard HDMI port and use that. Otherwise, just use displayport for your monitor and HDMI for the sound.. However, if you want to use HDMI 2.1 for the extra bandwidth plug that into your TV or monitor (if supports HDMI 2.1) such as the MSI Optix MPG321UR-QD which includes 2x HDMI 2.1 ports which makes HDR and refresh rate a bit better..
Annoyingly, you still have to use extended desktop.. Make the soundbar or audio device the 2nd display and drag it where hard to click into. Then have the GPU HDMI cable plugged into your monitor/TV.
This gives you all the Dolby Atmos features, MAT 2.0, 2.1 and 8 channels at least.

Why is this so complicated.
If the tv is Dolby Digital, the receiver is Dolby Digital and the content you play on your pc is Dobly Digital too, you won't get dolby digital sound !!! Unless the app that you are using on your pc did also purchased the Dolby licence 💲💲💲
Did I summarize it correctly ? 😂
Cant make the rear speakers to work in Windows 10 no matter what.. that app is of no help. It simply won't recognize them. They work fine with the PS5.
have you solved the problem
Sorry calling bullshit on this it's anything but easy unless you eschew a traditional computer monitor for a smart TV with eARC. Any other configuration is difficult because of a lack of support for regular HDMI and nothing for Bluetooth will work.
Step 1: Have a tv (which majority of PC gamers do not have since TV's are inferior in every way)
My tv has hdmi arc but no earc, i have a soundbar that has earc, can i play my downloaded atmos video lossless through my macbook m1 to my soundbar and the visual in my tv..?😊
