Dolby Access App
Demetria Dobbin
For speakers, Dolby Access lets you activate the Dolby Atmos feature. To do so, your amplifier, sound bar, or speakers need to be compatible with this quality standard. Otherwise, you won't be able to hear the sound, and you might even hear annoying noises.
For headphones, on the other hand, you can use the Dolby Atmos for Headphones feature. This feature virtually emulates multichannel sound, so you can enjoy greater immersion with any of your headphones. With Dolby Access, you can try a free 7-day trial of this feature, after which you'll have to pay $14.99 or the equivalent in your local currency.
After setting it up for your headphones or speakers, you can enjoy Dolby Atmos sound from any source, including movies and games. There are tons of games that are compatible with Dolby Atmos sound, including:
Thanks for the option to download the software from here. I bought dolby access but for some reason it's impossible to download or update from the Microsoft Store. They have so many programming glitch...

I really love the HS80. Its a great headset. However, what bothers me is that I only get dolby atmos(DA) when I run the dolby atmos software. I believe the only thing this software does is checking if I have a DA license. Therefore my question, is there a way that I can have DA all the time even without running this software? The reason is that I sometimes forget to start it and then in the middle of a game realize that I can not hear so well. E.g. I had a logitech headset before which integrated the dolby surround check in their software, instead of using an extra software. Also the headset remembered when it was activated with dolby surround even when the software was not running.
And of course, corsair somehow needs to integrate the Dolby Atmos environment on their headphones or iCue. After all, enabling Dolby Atmos for headphones makes functions of iCue software useless (you cannot change mic level in iCue, sidetone is disabled, EQ settings disabled as well) only left settings you can change are the RGB lighting and hardware settings.
Of course optical can deal with more than just stereo... I've been using optical for many years with various setups (either PC -> optical -> sound system directly, or my current setup, which is PC -> HDMI -> TV (set to passthrough) -> optical -> sound system) and it's always been real 5.1 surround sound. And I'm not mixing things up with Pro Logic 2 here. DTS/Dolby has always been my go-to for gaming and of course 99% of games support that...
If that won't do (i.e. you'll get an error message saying that this format isn't supported by your device), re-run the setup and try DS1 instead of PCCE4, but according to the internet, don't try both at the same time. PCCE4 worked for me though.
Noticed the same thing with 6800. About month ago I bought nice 5.1 setup from logitech, and I wasted couple of days to make it work. I have ended up just using 5.1 via jacks without dolby... It only works in netflix.
I was chatting with the AMD support as well. First thing they got back to me with was this. Unfortunately this wasn't helpful at all (besides, my TV doesn't have earc, only arc). Then they said they have no idea, maybe the 6000 series is just too new and I should wait for Microsoft to release an update. Which I find pretty unlikely to be a solution to this problem.
But just so you know. You dont need Dolby Atmos active in the Sound Propertys to Bitstream Dolby Atmos to the Reciver.
Just try it out. Play one of the Atmos Vids in the Dolby Access App. It will say that Atmos is Disabled, but the Reciver will still get Atmos.
Atleast its that way with mine. I use "APO Driver" to enable "Dolby Atmos Speaker System for Gaming" on the HDMI Audio Output so that I get proper, in OS, Stereo to 5.1 Upmix. But this hinders me from Enableing The Atmos Output Format. But the ATMOS LED on my AV Receaver still activates when i play Atmos Content.
What exactly is your setup and how did you hook it up? I would be interested in getting the Apo drivers running and I appreciate your help, but if installing those drivers would still mean it's just a stereo upmix, it wouldn't get me any further. I'm already getting a stereo upmix, but that's no surround sound.
You're right, when I watch the demo videos, my sound system indicates Dolby Digital even though the app says otherwise. I already noticed that. But it doesn't work anywhere outside the DA app. I'm definitely not getting Dolby or DTS when playing games for example. In that case it's Pro Logic 2 only (not only does my sound system say so, but I can also hear it. It's just a stereo upmix). But when I had the 1080 TI, I was getting real DTS everywhere.
That 99% of games output Native Dolby/DTS is just plain wrong. And that Optical can deal with PCM 5.1 is also totaly wrong. You can only Bitstream a Dolby Encoded Signal over Optical. And for that you need a Sound Card that offers the Dolby/DTS Sound Format.
Windows ONLY Outputs PCM if you dont have an APO Installed. It is so since forever.
Yes your Reciver will Show Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 like mine does but thats only the Reciving Processor wich does things like Speaker Virtualisation and other things to the PCM Signal after its recivied.
Windows by default, without any additional Software only Outputs Linear PCM on HDMI.
Support for Dolby Digital needs to be build in and LICENCED by the Developer. Thats the reason almost nobody uses ist.
Uncompressed 5.1 over SPDIF (Optical) is NOT a thing. Dont wast your Time Trying it. If your Soundcard/Motherboard supports the Dolby Digital Output Format, than great. If it does not APO Driver is your only way to use 5.1 over Optical.
