I noticed that your arc is placed low because of your tv console. I also have a similar setup (no arc yet) and am wondering what the experience is like to have the arc placed low. Can you distinguish the upfiring speakers from the left, right and center ones? How high is your ceiling and how far is your main listening position? I've watched Peter Pee's video in regards to the arc placement. However, since we have a similar setup, I'm interested in your experience. Thanks.
Hey Peewee I hadn’t forgotten about this request. I needed to keep a comment off it so I wouldn’t forget to reply and it too me a while to get the measurements. The bar is 2m/ 6.65ft from the ceiling and 2.5m/ 8.2ft from my listening position. I would say overall it’s easy to tell the difference between left right and centre speakers and with the height added in it gives a great overall soundstage. However I will say that the upward firing speakers don’t necessarily feel like they are literally giving you sound from above your head regardless of how I angle the speakers or increase the height channel. I think this is something I could fine tune but haven’t been successful so far so don’t expect full surround with just the bar on its own.
Hello! Thanks for your video, nut I have a doubt. I want to purchase a Beats Fit Pro for my job and sport but I need to know if they works with the Xbox Series X with a Bluetooth dongle attached and I will have a pure Dolby Atmos trought it or maybe I will lost all the encoding in the bluetooh/dongle a I'll only recieve stereo. Do you know it? Thanks in advance,
Hey Suryo! You connect the Xbox to the TV and you connect the sound bar to the HDMI eArc or Arc port of your TV. Sound his past from the Xbox through the TV to the sound bar. Hope this helps.
I have a LG C2 and has HDMI 2.1 and a Sony sound bar that has Dolby atmos with rear speakers that have Dolby atmos but the Xbox series X says my tv doesn’t support Dolby atmos anyone know why?
Make sure the Xbox is plugged into your soundbar- in HDMI and the arc HDMI to your TV. Also make sure the soundbar supports HDMI 2.1 otherwise your only going to be 4K60
Hey Randy! Xbox goes to the TV and separately the Sonos Arc goes to the TV. This uses two HDMI ports on the TV. Ideally the soundbar is connected to an eArc HDMI port. Does this make sense?
Hi. Have you had any problems with Dolby Atmos not working in games? It works in Dolby Access app but when you start a game it sounds just the same as Stero Uncompressed?
Is there any way to get sound without audio hdmi extractor when I'm using monitor and no tv? Is there any usb device to connect to xbox series x and get the best audio quality?
Hey @PLGooner! Why not use an audio extractor? What speakers you connecting to? You can use headphones too. ( this is what I do when on my monitor for sound and chat) Monitors can also have audio out for speakers and headphones. What’s your setup and situation?
@@LovingTechLife I'm afraid to loose video quality (frames, output lag etc.) using hdmi audio extractor. I want to use my DAC Fiio K5 Pro with headphones in multiplayer games like Call of Duty where you need to have 120fps and the best sound location.
I noticed that I cannot launch Atmos from RUclips source , even if during gaming on Xbox x Atmos is present. But RUclips is always stereo on my denon receiver. Any ideas how to fix?
Hi, I’m just bought the xbox series s, my tv and sound bar is support Dolby atmos. Sound bar is sonos ARC plug with hdmi arc port at tv. I have try to select dolby atmos for home theater (hdmi only) it totally no sound. Only dts digital surround and dolby digital work on my xbox. Appreciate your advise how can I get Dolby atmos sound experience cuz my device is ready for this. Thank you
@@LovingTechLife I’m using TCL 4K tv have all the Dolby atmos home theater check in Xbox series s when run check in the system. But I just got Dolby vision when launch Apple TV. But muted when playing game and RUclips Netflix cuz I can’t choose Dolby atmos. Only if I switch to dts then all app have sound ☹️ appreciate if u can help me 😬
I mean, it depends. If your soundbar is going to do a better job with decoding ATMOS data then probably yes. Personally I think it’s better to pass through audio. I also have soundbar from Samsung and I pass through when watching blu ray Movie with ATMOS and Dolby True HD. You need to test it yourself while watching movie. + in settings you should find blu ray and enable pass through also there. Recently I watched Batman 2008 and for the first time I have enabled pass though and chose Dolby Digital bitstream on Audio Output settings. It worked better than Dolby ATMOS for Home Theater. Cheers.
Hello. Once you set up Dolby Atmos for headphones on your Xbox, would you plug your headphones into the TV or the Xbox controller to get the benefit of Atmos? Cheers.
Hey CursedMonkey! I have a Rig 800 headset that supports Atmos. There is a dongle that attaches to USB on the Xbox so if I’m using the headset then that stays plugged in. If I want Atmos for the Sonos Arc I unplug the headset dongle so it switches from headset Atmos to the tv/Sonos Atmos over HDMI. Does that help?
I’ve done everything you said to do and my Dolby atoms doesn’t show up for my speaker audio but it shows for the headset audio?? I have a sound bar hooked up to my Tv not sure what the deal is.
@@kingnez1268 Have you tried running your Xbox direct to the soundbar? I had same problem. I ran the hdmi from Xbox into the in socket on soundbar then connected the soundbar by the eARC to my eARC hdmi on tv. Now atmos and DTSX work on my Xbox without any delays. Also you will need hdmi 2.1 high speed cables. My Xbox sX sometimes will not recognise my tv’s 4k capabilities but cycling the tv’s CEC/HDMI advanced setting sorts everything out. Hope this helps as it seems a common issue getting the Xbox to recognise atmos supported soundbars.
Hey @mortenandersen5096! Can be different reasons for this but try these from top down and see if any of these help: - Check TV audio settings first and look for output delay REDUCTION capability and set to passthrough manually. - Check HDMI delay through TV settings (self diag on Sammy) - disable/enable cycle CEC on the Xbox - power everything off(unplug), break all HDMI port connections, and wait 5 min, Power everything on, wait 5 min. - Ensure CEC and input signal plus on Sammy TVs (or LG equivalent) is enabled Reconnect HDMI to Audio receiver then to TV - Disable and re-enable eARC in TV menu and then select passthrough - Reconnect external HDMI to TV then reconnect to Xbox. Check audio.
I have samsung q990c bought recently... And xbox one x which i have for a lokg time... Which one do u think process Dolby Atmos better... Based on your openion i am gonna make setting to get the best out of these machines
Can I chew someone's ear off ere coz I am dense and thick and hoping for a reply I have a Samsung dolby atmos soundbar with 2 rear speakers and I am rubbish at this type of stuff am I correct in doing it like this from e-arc port on tv to e-arc port on soundbar then any hdmi devices connected to tv will pass through hdmi and be in atmos on xbox etc I am clueless so am praying for a reply thanks for the video any replies are appreciated thanks
Hey @danielcragg8632! Yes that’s essentially correct. eArc TV -> Soundbar. Then everything plugged into the tv as well as apps on the tv should play on the soundbar. If the device or apps also support Dolby Atmos then the bar will play that. 👍🏻
Your settings are all messed up regarding the settings from the sound app ! Giving people specific settings to dial in the sonos will depend on the listener and the listeners room. Alert from that great video

How do you connect them all? Xbox to soundbar first or Xbox to TV?
Hey Suryo! You connect the Xbox to the TV and you connect the sound bar to the HDMI eArc or Arc port of your TV. Sound his past from the Xbox through the TV to the sound bar. Hope this helps.
If using Dolby Atmos for Headphones, what setting should you use in-game? Some games have headset option, surround sound, 5.1 and 7.1
I’m surprised you don’t have the Digital Sound Output setting on the TV set to Pass Through.
Thanks ASMR I’ll look into it, doesn’t seem to have trouble with passing through the audio but Ill double check 👍🏻

@@LovingTechLife thank you very much for the info...
Does the xbox have to be on alliw 4k to hear the atmos?
4:47 in Dolby Atmos it flag channel upmixer , that mean not real Dolby atmos 🤔
Great info buddy
