    After latest update, Dolby Atmos for Headphones reverts to Windows Sonic after reboot


    After the latest firmware update, Dolby Atmos for Headphones reverts to Windows Sonic after rebooting my Xbox One X. Also, when I try to change it back to Dolby Atmos, it shows the "You need to download Dolby Atmos for headphones" message - but it's already
    installed. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Dolby app doesn't help. Suggestions?

    :)

    More observations. When you visit the audio menu after rebooting (w/o headphones connected), you see Windows Sonic. However, if you plug headphones it automatically goes back to Dolby Atmos for Headphones. So maybe it's not broken, but it works differently
    than before (where it always said Atmos whether the headphones were plugged or not)?

    I had this issue and solved it!

    I had to go into the Dolby Atmos for Headphones App on my console and go through the process of setting it up again(doesn't take long), in that process it will take you to your audio settings and that's when I was finally able to select Atmos and have it stay
    Atmos. Simply going into your settings for whatever reason doesn't seem to work, I needed to go through the Atmos App and have it take me to the audio settings.

    Let me know if this helped you, it worked for me but that doesn't always mean it will work for everyone.

    Best of luck and happy gaming!

    Haven't tried this yet. Will have to make sure Atmos is working. Thanks for the heads up.
