Alpha Party Audio Issues Workaround for Astro Users

Excerpt from latest Insider Alpha Skip Ahead release notes...

"Spotify

• We have received reports of users hearing a reverb, echo or duplicated audio during playback when using Windows Sonic.
  

Workaround: Use an alternate audio setting when using Spotify."

Sorry I can't help any further

Im having the same issue with my Astro A40s. Even adjusting the game/chat volume control on the mixamp does nothing but change whether in game music is louder or if in game character audio is louder. Nothing seems to affect the party chat audio by itself.

Hi Spades

Feels like your re-inventing the wheel here just buy the Astro Gaming Audio system end of. Or the new Astro A50 due out in a month or so.

Sorry to be a party pooper.

As far as my understanding this issue is related to the color bit-depth selected or perhaps the refresh rate when set to 120hz.

Personally, I'm using 1440p, 120hz, and 10-bit. I haven't had any major issues using Dolby Atmos with this setting.

Although, once or twice I've had to re-open the Dolby app to re-apply the settings.

Here is the current known issue and workaround. I hope this helps

"Audio

• Users who have Dolby Atmos enabled and console display settings set to 120hz with 36 bits per pixel (12-bit) are experiencing loss of Dolby Atmos audio in some situations.
  • Workaround: Disable 120hz or set Video Fidelity to 30 bits per pixel (10-bit) or lower."
