![If you can't hear this then you're not an audiophile [See description for link to followup video]](/img/1.gif)
You inadvertently answered my question here thanks mate. I was wondering why EVERYTHING was outputting in atmos, even thoughI know that the content was not atmos coded content.
Great video. Please help. I have my reciever set up to my xbox one x with optic. When I switch settinds on xbox to dts surround the sound is worse than dolby digital? Does this sound right?
Hey guys, here's what worked for me:
I have an LG oled and Sony soundbar. I had to connect soundbar to the TV via HDMI arc port. The Xbox had to be connected directly to the TV via HDMI port 1.
It's a little counter intuitive but when you select input 2 (arc) on the TV, it will know to get the audio from that source and use the video from the other source (HDMI port 1 in my case).
You'll know it worked bc you'll see the Dolby vision/HDR notification as well as a Dolby Atmos notification. Hope this helps
Thanks for sharing your experience 👍
Lol way more useful than this guys video
Yes!! It's really that simple run your soundbar to the TV using HDMI ARC, Then your device to HDMI to the TV
Dolby atmos doesn't appear in my screen corner
Hi bro i have a htrt40 sony ht and a samsung tv MU6500 and it doant work please help i dont know if ita the tv or the conection please help
I love Atmos.
Although I appreciate the effort, I feel like you should have shown the physical connection from the Xbox to the soundbar/sound system to the TV as this can differ depending on what you're using.
Boots The God Gaming That’s the problem, though. There are just too many variables. I could show you my setup but the chance of it being replicated at your end is quite low.
Cheers for the feedback, though.
@@JoeChip I hear that. I'll post another comment with the steps that worked for me
Boots The God Gaming Good idea. I’ll look forward to seeing it 👍
I have a LG TV and a Vizo sound bar I bought to day. and I have it plugged in correctly but it will not recognize the atmos in xbox X settings selection.ill try what you did
@@gregoryross9770 I have the same setup, what did you do to get yours to work
Question, the HDMI cable needs to go from Arc on the sound bar to arc on you tv, then the HDMI cable from the Xbox to the amp soundbar. Will I lose picture quality since the Xbox HDMI cable isn’t going direct through the TV?
Hey dude thanks I did it the first time following you video and my Xbox need it a update and the result was that erased my settings so I watch you video again I will appreciate you help
Is everything working ok, now?
Entirely too much commentary to start, but your time is much appreciated!
Are you saying I talk too much? My partner agrees 😉
@@JoeChip 😂
4:10 that's the problem with most capture cards these days. Very few existing cards actually capture at least AC3 5.1 via Toslink or at the very least HDMI. I want the HD PVR model 1504 or 1512 and oh lookie here, EBAY JUST RAN OUT! Amazon's the next best thing now.
Yeah, this is a real source of annoyance for me. It causes so many issues.
@@JoeChip Capture cards don't even bother to implement any special downmixing techniques like SRS Circle Sound or even the old 1990s Qsound. Actually they might as well start with Pro Logic, oh wait, RUclips can't use that either. Waaahahahaha, I need Dolby Digital so I can use SRS in Expression Encoder 4 SP2.
Thank you. Easy to follow, clear instructions. Cheers.
No problem. Glad To help 👍
I have an Xbox one and a Vizio elevate sound bar and it says that it's not Atmos compatible. I have the soundbar hooked up through e-arc and the HDMI from my Xbox to the soundbar as well. Is there something I'm missing?
I don’t know that particular soundbar. Does it say in the manual that it is Atmos capable?
If you have Glitchy sound in Atmos (because most HDR 4K Tv`s do not have `eArc [HDMI 2.1]`, as they only have `Arc` [HDMI 2.0]) you (like I now have to do) have to buy an even newer 4k/8k HDR Tv with >eArc< NOT >Arc
I know it's a year ago, but from the way you describe it I think the issue here is you are routing the signal from XBOX to receiver via the TV. The receiver should always be the central hub of your home cinema set-up, including input switching. ARC and eARC are just there so you can use the built-in apps on your TV and still get decent sound.
doesnt work with wireless turtle beach head phones!!
It's not working here on my Xbox One X when i change it to Dolby Atmos for Home Theatre it says Check your audio receiver! and i have allready connected my LG SJ9 soundbar to my Samsung MU7000 with HDMI.. Do i have to put another HDMI from the soundbar to the Xbox too??
Louis Loranso If you want Dolby Atmos you will need to connect the Xbox to a device that is Dolby Atmos capable. In this case, that’s the LG Soundbar. You would need to connect it like this:
Xbox to soundbar, Soundbar to TV.
Hope that helps.
Joe Chip only problem with that is u lose hdr and some 4k qualities because when i go check in 4k tv details they are all green checks but when i connect my xbox directly to the soundbar i get some x’s
S T E E Z Y Ah, welcome to the world of HDMI. These issues are the bane of my life. Basically, the soundbar is Dolby Atmos capable but not HDR capable, while the TV is HDR capable but not Atmos capable. EDID (extended display identification data) will therefore tell the Xbox to turn off the features not supported by the connected device. I’ve had this with capture cards, where you lose sound once the card is connected because it’s not capable of 5.1. It can get very complicated trying to work these issues out.

Audio settings sound volume setup- to surround mode not stereo(xbox one)
Bro i have a sony ht rt 40 and it dosnt work please help me how to conect it so it does recognise it pleaseee
Can i get dolby atmos on my xbox by using bluetooth headphones connected to tv?
Thanks for the video. I got my first Xbox one S, is it the same setup for Atmos and will it also play Atmos in Netflix?
Yes and yes. Obviously Atmos works best when working with Atmos encoded software but other than that you should be good.
Let me know how you get on.
I have a oled c8 and lg sk9y when I use the Netflix app and watching a show that has Dolby atmos running from my xbox one x it switches atmos on and off and so on. Please help
Im using Dolby Atmos with my Xbox series x,but it showing atmos on Av receiver with all content.
Even with games that support just norml surround:/
Is this normal?
I’d need to check to be absolutely certain but I think the answer is yes. Basically, non Atmos encoded content will be output as a kind of pseudo Atmos. It’s upscaled, in effect. It won’t sound as good as content encoded with Atmos but it can still yield some pretty good results.
@@JoeChip Thanks for the answer👍
I bought the Windows Atmos App for PC.
Brazil Uluwita Sorry. Not sure why but I only just saw this comment.
How are you getting on with it on Windows? I intend to have a look at it in the next week or so, so I’m interested in hearing about people’s experiences with the app.
Not a problem my friend. The App works well. I have Two HDMI Outputs along with my computer. Therefore I have directed One HDMI For Video ( Goes directly into my TV HDMI In. ) And the second HDMI Output goes Directly to my receiver. It works well and Atmos Is on. This is my PC And not my main Home Theater. But I like to play around with ot with Kodi. Works well my friend. Cheers for your reply. Take care Joe And keep up your good work my friend.
No problem, I always try to reply if I can. And thanks for sharing. That's really interersting 👍
I love KODI, though I'm a bit off the pace with it currently. I started using it back on the original Xbox when it was called XBMC. Back then, trying to get a console to do home theatre was nigh on impossible but XBMC changed all that. I honestly think the modding community on the OG Xbox inspired the work Microsoft did with the 360 (we know a modded Xbox was shown to Bill Gates)... And now our consoles do pretty much everything we could want.
I did everything you said and when I switch it to the Dolby Atmos home theater HD I am only I keep getting this check your audio receiver error
Do you have anything else in the audio chain, such as a capture card or other device? That can cause these issues.
Same
Joe Chip idk I need help
Do you have to connect the xbox directly to the receiver/sounbar to get Dolby atmos? Can you connect the xbox direes?
Yes you do, or you can connect it to a latest tv that can decode atmos.
@@acousticcohifi I tried to connect to my Atmos receiver and the app wont even work
Thank You!
Its working on my headphones and its all going on auto thru my settings But i have never bought it
That's bloody weird. How is it all set up?
I have a capable sounder but it keeps giving an error code saying, make sure audio receiver supports it (0x80bd0009)
How do you have it all connected up. It could be something else in the chain that is causing the issue.
I have my Xbox plunged (hdmi) into my TV and sound bar.
I have my sound bar plunged into my tv hdmi arc.
I talked to Microsoft and they had no clue.
MrMakeyousaywtf1 The Xbox only has one HDMI out so I’m not quite sure how you are connected to both the soundboard and the TV. Are you going from Xbox to soundbar to TV or is it connected in a different way? If the Xbox is connected to the TV you won’t be able to enable Atmos as most TVs don’t support it. You would have to connect to the Soundbar first and pass the signal through to the TV. That can cause other issues but we’ll get into that if we need to. What are the make and model of your Soundbar and TV?
How do I get picture if I'm not connected to the TV
I have a Sony XBR65x850e and an LG SK9Y sound bar.
Im trying to use this one my xbox through headphones. But i keep looping from the "begin setup" menu to the menu at 5:52. 😕 Im not sure what else to do as cant find anything online about this issue. If you can offer any insight, that'd be smashing. Thanks
I'm not sure what you mean by "looping". can you be a bit more specific.
Also, this video is not really about setting up Atmos with headphones. Check this one out instead:

Let me know how you get on.
this video is 2 year old I know
still confused
7.1 uncompressed what does even mean (xbox one)
when I go to movies, does Dolby souround 7.1 is uncompressed?
or
xbox one emulate sound from 5.1 "duplicate"
somehow to 2 channels as 7.1 with a label
uncompressed
why it is not just 7.1 like movies?
is like playing Xbox in a movies with "big screen" test sound then play a movie.
the weird thing I cant find 7.1 uncompressed linked with "emulated" word but you will find 5.1 duplicate sound for 7.1
Very useful thanks
Matthew James No problem 👍
And which apps on Xbox play dolby atmos downloaded movies?
Downloaded? Netflix has Atmos encoded moves. Pretty sure Amazon and Disney do too.
What if your TV doesn't have eARC but only ARC? Isn't eARC necessary to get Atmos to work?
Did you ever find out
@@marcuskoolrt In ARC you only get the compressed Dolby Digital Plus which is in the Dolby Atmos TruHD container, it's just a highly compressed Atmos.
It worked but now I have a sound delay, how do I resolve this problem. I have a Nakamichi 9.2 surround sound home theatre system, it sounds amazing now but let’s say I play resident evil 2 which has Dolby atmos, and I shoot, theirs a sound delay. Is their anyway I can fix this
There could be an option to offset the audio within the amp but I'm actually surprised it's doing this. Have you tried recycling power to all your components? That can sometimes sort out these issues.
Hi Joe I'm having problems connecting my lg sk9y soundbar to xbox one. Can you tell me where the hdmi leads go from xbox, tv and receiver pls. I have a hdmi in and a hdmi arc out on the soundbar. I have 3 hdmi and a hdmi arc on the tv. Can get it set up so sound comes through the xbox but won't let me get the dolby atmos from the the audio settings.
Many thanks
I would connect the Xbox to the HDMI in, then go from the HDMI out to the TVs arc capable HDMI.
Have you followed the video on how to set up DOLBY ATMOS on the Xbox?
Joe Chip Leads are Xbox' hdmi OUT to Soundbar hdmi IN. Secondly using a separate cable(obviously), soundbar' hdmi out to tv hdmi ARC. Did this and I have "no source" on my tv
On my series x,how do I hook it up to my surround sound?With my Xbox one,It has a optical out and it connects to my receiver.Thanks
Does your receiver have HDMI?
@@JoeChip Thanks Joe.No Hmdi.Older unit.Optical in for sound ,or older av cables.But my Xbox x is hooked via optical
Is the HDMI out from my Xbox connected to my atmos enabled amps are the only connection I need? So picture and sound are combined to one hdmi and will be connected to my amps and in order to produce picture i should connect my amps(hdmi out) to my TV?
or should i be using 2 hdmi? one for video and one for audio.. thanks
Yep, that sounds right. There are a few settings you may want to play with on the amp to get the best picture and reduce lag but other than that you should be fine.
Let me know how you get on.
Hay mate just wondering how you connect the xbox one x to your sound bar I got a sound bar q90r bar I connect this to my q70r telly using arc and xbox to hdmi 1 port but it want let me select the atmos option in xbox settings saying to check my bar supports it any help would be great plus I liked and sub
In order to use Atmos, everything in the chain would have to be Atmos enabled. Even if your soundboard supports Atmos, if you route everything through your TV first, Atmos won’t work unless the TV is Atmos enables (and most aren’t). If your Soundbar is Atmos capable then try connecting to the soy bar first, and then passing the signal to he TV and see if that solves your problem.
I can’t use The Bitstream Format Dolby Atmos for home theatre and also what’s an audio receiver
Rogue Evasion Playz same thing is happening with me i get the same message everytime as urs too i think that u need 2 hdmi cables but iv messaged this youtuber and still waiting for his answear to make sure what to do!
Does it work on the og Xbox One or only on the One S / One X ??? I have the original One and the SK10Y / Hisense TV.. Shows me always the problem with the Audio Receiver.....
Is the TV Atmos enabled?
Hi! Thank you for the step-by-step video. I was hoping you could help me with a issue I am having. I am having trouble with changing the bitstream fromat to Dolby Atmos. When I click on it, it tells me that my audio receiver doesn't support Dolby Atmos for home theater. I just purchased a Sonos Arc which has Atmos capability and I have it plugged into the HDMI arc port on my Samsung TV (Error message 0x80bd0038). Not sure what the issue is, called Sonos support and they said my TV was capable for Dolby Atmos too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
ARC won't pass Dolby Atmos. You need eARC for that to work. The best setup for you would be Xbox to Sonos, Sonos to TV.
Sadly the app tries to emulate Atmos even on mono Chat Headsets and blocks the user from choosing the device to play the sound from. So I can either enjoy Atmos nd not talk to my friends or I can talk to my friends and my 7.1 Atmos enabled Yamaha gets some crappy headphone emulation.
I need to look into this. When I connect my headset, I still have 5.1 audio from my home cinema amp. I'm pretty certain that it is outputting Atmos too. I'll try to check later.
It is totally strange. I deinstalled the App, deleted the user data and reinstalled it and it worked until the next day. The the same thing happened. When I try to set the output to atmos it tells me to disconnect my Headphone Station from my HDMI. But I just use the Atmor enabled amp for that. Thanks for looking into it!
Do I need speakers to "enable" dolby atmos?
I’m not sure what you are asking, sorry. Can you provide a bit more detail.
@@JoeChip does dolby atmos work with the TV's audio or only with speakers?
That will depend. Any hardware will have to be Atmos certified, whether that be a TV, soundbar or a full home cinema system.
@@JoeChip ok, thanks!
I need dac/amp to headphones with atmos. Help me
Do the same set up for the ps4
PS4 doesn't support Atmos.
how connect HDMI cabel for dolbly atmos for home theatre for PC???
I've not done it for PC but as I understand it it's much the same as setting it up for Xbox. You will need to download the app from the windows store and set it up for use with a home theatre amp.
Morning man thank you for this video! I have everything set up like you mentioned. I have my xbox connected to a Denon AVR, same setting in the video, but I can’t get any sound from my rear channels... Oddly enough I get sound from my surrounds and 4 atmos. Does xbox fully support 7.1.4? I am watching 4K blu rays and if not very little, some sound should be coming out my rears. The rear channels were calibrated in audessy so the receiver is recognizing them. Would appreciate any feedback you have. Thanks
That’s an odd one. I take it the rears are working with other devices? What software have you tried?
I don't think Xbox supports more then 7 channels I could be wrong though
Updated- i was able to get this to work :) the Klipsch rears had a setting on them set to “atmos” instead of surrounds. Lol
Hey brother! I got a Sony A9G tv and the Sony htst 5000 sound bar. Do I have to connect my Xbox to the soundbar or can this still work if it’s connected to the tv? Oh and when playing a game that’s not Atmos supported do I need to switch the sound to a different setting? Probably two stupid questions but I read somewhere that I didn’t need to plug the Xbox into the sound bar since the tv supports Atmos.
You don't need to switch the atmos setting. You can just leave it on.
As for the connections: that can get tricky and depends on what your soundbar and/or TV are capable of passing through to the other device. It's difficult for me to comment on your particular devices as it varies a hell of a lot from device to device as to how you should connect to get the best out of them.
If your TV is 4k capable and your sound bar can pass a 4k signal through to the TV, I'd be inclined to set it up that way. If your soundbar can't handle 4k passthrough, then you'll have to come up with an alternative.
I hope that helps a little bit. Let me know how you get on.
Does not work for xbox one even with Atmos system. Anyone can help????
What happens?
I've never had a soundbar before, so I dont know much about them, but if I plug my soundbar into my xbox, will my soundbar and speakers still work when the xbox is off?
Soundbar and speakers? How is that set up?
As for connecting to the Xbox, it all depends on the way it’s all connected. What inputs/outputs does the Soundbar have?
My soundbar came with a subwoofer and rear satellite speakers. I dont know why I said speakers lol. I should have just said soundbar, but the soundbar has HDMI in, ARC, Optical and Auxiliary. Right now I just have a hdmi cable going from soundbar to tv using ARC.
I know this vid is already a bit old but just to put it out there - I've discovered it's not necessary to set up the Atmos app on Xbox - the Xbox can just passthrough the audio and the receiver decodes the signal which after listening to both modes I prefer..
Do you mean you are not setting atmos in the Xbox sound settings? If that's the case they you won't actually be experiencing Atmos. The receiver can approximate Atmos in much the same way as you can generate a surround sound signal from stereo but it won't sound the same as material that is actually encoded to deliver surround sound or (in this case) Atmos. Have you tried listening to material that is Atmos encoded?
@@JoeChip Yes I tried this out with a Shazam Bluray and while I wasn't being empirical about it .. it certainly seemed like some sounds (overhead for ex) were more pronounced when the atmos app ws off . I've tried a number of different methods of playing atmos material and found my receiver to be accurate in displaying when the output is atmos or not (it doesn't always display atmos and I found I had to change a setting to make it work. In this case the receiver displayed atmos with my bluray when the app was both on and off). But I can double check the sound quality with a number of atmos blurays I have. My understanding of bitstream passthrough comes from here (very end of article): in.pcmag.com/microsoft-xbox-one-s/111941/xbox-one-insiders-get-an-early-taste-of-the-creators-update
Dolby access is forcing to use headphones. Won’t recognize home theatre. Have theatre set up from main sound bar HDMI arc out to tv input hdmi arc
Daft question but is your sound bar Dolby Atmos capable?
Joe Chip I eventually found info on vizio site. this particular model I have supports Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Plus.i could not find any material saying it supports Dolby Atmos. I imagine that would be something proudly displayed on the box too. My new question is , what is DTS , is this the same technology but different company than Dolby or is this something my device would also have to be capable of?
Dorian Davis DTS is a completely different technology, though many devices support it along with Dolby. Generally speaking the devices in the chain will have to support the processing you are trying to use. As a rule you can just stick with Dolby. I used to stress about shit like that but, honestly, life’s too short.
Does the 1st Gen Xbox One support Atmos?
My original xbox is in a box in the attic so I'm not able to test it but as I understand it you should be able to download the Dolby Access app and set it up from there, just as you would on any other Xbox One.
Give it a try. You can download the app for free.
Can I get Dolby Atmos via 11.1 uncompressed audio? If Atmos is only available compressed , Do I have to change audio settings every time I need to use a non Atmos game to get 7.1 uncompressed audio ?
My friend, Please select the audio to be distribute as ''Bitstream'' And please turn off '' Secondary Audio ''.
Do games support Dolby atmos if you have a Dolby atmos compatible soundbar? Or do I need the headphones? To experience it? Thanks.
They should work with a soundbar but you set it up differently.
Joe Chip ok thanks
If my t.v. is Dolby atmos how can I get Dolby atmos sound?
Well, it will vary with equipment but basically you should be able to set the Xbox to Dolby Atmos and away you go. You may need to check to make sure all inputs support Atmos, and go into the settings on the TV to make sure it's enabled but you'll have to consult the TV manual to see if that is required.
Hope that helps.
nice one
I have a LG C7 and it has Dolby Atmos how can I set up my One X for that?
You should be able to plug the HDMI from the Xbox directly into the TV. In fact, that’s one of the more straightforward setups. Just look at the C7’s manual and make sure you have it set up for Atmos. Once that’s done, just select Atmos as your output from the Xbox and you should be good to go.
@@JoeChip I figured it out I just ran the app and it was ready to go after that
@@JoeChip thanks for the help 👍
Thanks brother!
No problem. Glad to help 👍
Great instructions but my xbox settings will no allow my to confirm Dolby Atmos. Keeps referring my to download the app which I'm am going through the app as instructed. What is going on??
Try rebooting the Xbox (don't just go into standby that won't do the job). Sometimes Atmos messes up and a reboot sorts it out. Hope that works for you.
Do you have to have 2 HDMI cables coming from xbox to tv and speaker??
No. The way I do it is that I have everything going into a home cinema amp. The splitter is merely being used to strip out HDCP. Why do you ask?
Joe Chip i was struggling last night to get it going but after 3 hours i got it going lol got the sound bar into tv, then xbox into hdmi 2 on the bar
Glad you got it sorted out 👍
@@mrcrazysnipez1 my sound bar has only 1 HDMI port(arc) and it has one optical port but in the other hand my tv has 1 arc 2 HDMI and one spdif port? So what's the best setup to get best audio while playing games on xbox? HDMI from Xbox to tv....then HDMI from soundbar to HDMI arc in tv? Thank you!
@@JoeChip So just one hdmi out from xbox then a splitter going to the tv and the amp? Thanks
Sounds so easy yet doesn’t work ,or it does work only if you set video setting to 1080p ,otherwise with video setting at 4K you get an error message when selecting Dolby Atmos in audio settings ahhhhhhhh
What equipment are you using, and how is it connected. This can occur if using a sound bar, due to the way the signals are handled.
@@JoeChip Sony str DN 1080 amp , Panasonic fz802 , everything going through amp with certified HDMI. It worked first time when Dolby app installed.then settings were lost , somehow?
Nice kit.
I have to say, I'm stumped at this stage. Usually this would happen if one component in the chain wasn't either Atmos enabled or 4K enabled but your kit handles both.
Just out of interest, have you tried cold booting the Xbox? That will sometimes sort out these issues.
Also, do you have a capture card in the mix anywhere? They can cause these issues as well.
@@JoeChip no capture device . I have forced a power cycle (press &hold xbox power button. ) I don't understand why it worked then didn't.
toggyuel Me neither. I take it the power cycle didn’t help?
With your connection, do you go to the amp, then from there to the screen? Just trying to get a picture in my head.
Can’t get the hdmi audio to go to “bitstream out” any ideas?
89Sod What home cinema amp are you using?
@@JoeChip im using a onkyo tx nr 676 and it is refusing to stop saying for Dolby atmos for home theatre, you need to be using HDMI
1nfamous76 Sorry, but what is it you are trying to do?
I sorted it now, had to unplug my bloody razer headphones from the controller.
1nfamous76 Ah Yes, that’s do it. Glad you got it sorted 👍
Is this for the xbox one? Or is this for the xbox s/xbox one x?
chernebog07 It should be available on all versions of the Xbox One.
Joe Chip Thanks!
Is it worth it? How is it different
Gamer Dad Whether it is worth it or not come down to personal preferences and equipment. If you can afford to put speakers in your ceiling then it will create a more realistic sound field. Using speakers that fire upwards to bounce off the ceiling is less effective (this is what I have) but worth trying out. The obvious issue is cost, though. If you don’t have an Atmos amp, you’ll need to upgrade, and then you’ll need to invest in at least on pair (ideally two pairs - front height and rear height) of Atmos speakers. Gets pretty expensive, pretty fast.
It is cool, though.
Joe Chip ok. Tnx. I tried it but with my headset and the preview sounded amazing but honestly I couldnt tell the difference when playing games or watching a movie . as for surround sound mines not that great. Just a plain blue ray with speakers so I couldnt tell either. That clears things out for me . tnx
Dolby has said its better to have atmos speakers firing up at ceiling. As long as you have a flat solid ceiling
jdubdoubleu i dont. Its at an angle
jdubdoubleu I’ll have to take their word for it. That’s how I have my speakers set up. I do wonder about that, though, and I’d like to see some independent testing to confirm it.
Hello, Joe! I have a question: may I achieve the Dolby Atmos effect if my soundbar the Lg SK10y supports it but my TV, LG also, doesn’t( but supports 4K)? The major reason for me is to watch movies with Atmos from Netflix. The alternative way is to buy LG OLED, and I want to minimize my expenses and buy a present for my kid simultaneously)))
You will have to use the soundbar’s passthrough function if it it has one in order to achieve what you are wanting since your tv doesnt support Atmos processing itself....
@@ENT931 hdmi in out thing¿
Banjo-Kazooie & Tooie Remastered Dolby Atmos Support plz rare
What a good idea.
Those are my most beloved game and childhood but I doubt they’d ever support it with Dolby lol
So ps4 doesn't supports dolby atmos ?
keahi foxx No. Unfortunately not.
Odd I’m an adult and says give this code to a adult wtf...
LOL
It isn’t working I have Astro a50
Can you provide some more detail?
I got it to work I don’t know how but it worked thank you though
Ryan O'Neil No problem. Glad you got it working. Believe me, I’ve had to deal with enough of these issues to know just how frustrating they can be.
Did all that doesn’t get work.
You're going to need to provide a bit more information. What kit are you using?
me too
i am using xbox 1
no good
What’s no good?
It talked down to me (but that's ok for less tech-friendly types) the problem is I was trying to connect an Atmos soundbar & needed to know that xbox hdmi goes into soundbar and then soundbar hdmi goes into TV. Not knowing that meant the 3rd option was not selectable and this video just added to frustrations suggesting theyre was nothing to it. BTW Don't buy a Sony HTX8500 it has atmos but isn't surround. They shouldn't be allowed to deceptively describe a product in that way it cost me a weekend of stress to discover whether it was not setup correctly or just didn't work as a Surround system... it doesn't.
rokridge Oh, I would never talk down to anyone intentionally but I do subscribe to the idea that you should never assume knowledge.
Sound bars, it seems, are particularly awkward when it comes to setting up both Atmos and 4K. A number of people have run into problems. It’s difficult for me to comment as regards how they are set up, though, as I don’t own a sound bar.
I hope you manage to get it sorted one way or another. I’ve encountered quite a few problems sorting out sound on the Xbox (and other components) and, frankly, it’s a pain in the arse.
hi again, Im using a 5.1 HTS 3910 atmos system now. Any idea why Im not getting vertical depth much?
rokridge It’ll depend on the software to some extent. Movies and games that are encoded with Atmos are your best bet and with give you the best results but even then it’s going to depend on the mastering.
Also, I note that the Onkyo HTS 3910 doesn’t have a dedicated height channel (or channels). That is likely part of the problem, though without hearing it it’s difficult to know for certain. You could play about with speaker placement to try and get the best sound, as well. It’s amazing how a shift in the position of speakers can make a sound field snap into place.
Hope that’s some help.
Didn’t help at all
Hi I need a little help I have my pc and Xbox connected to a tv via hdmi and a 2 speaker set with a sub woofer connected via the headphone socket on the tv does this mean I have to use for headphones or home theater
If you want Dolby Atmos, then yes. Stereo is still pretty good but you won’t get surround sound without a 5.1 or higher setup (though some sound bars are apparently pretty good). Also, Atmos for home theatre requires an amp that is certified for Atmos and at least one pair of height speakers. It can get very expensive.
