dolby 7.1 with windows sonic for headset

Hello, online there are headphones with the virtual 7.1 Dolby that need a software to work only on PC. Can these headphones use dolby 7.1 even with windows sonic? For example, do the logitech g430 (with a possible adapter) use dolby
7.1 with windows sonic on xbox one? Instead, other headphones like the logitech g633 that support the real 7.1 dolby, in theory, could I use them on xbox one?

Windows Sonic Surround vs Dolby Atmos vs Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound for Xbox One

For those who like something better than just compressed Stereo audio for gaming, music and watching YouTube/Neflix videos, what is your preference?

I think Windows Sonic Surround is rubbish. There's lots of reports on google, the biggest search engine, that indicate it is. Turtle Beach 700 has this feature. And I find that 7.1 Surround Sound is more richer with presets options which Turtle Beach has.

I'm possibly looking for a new headset, as my Turtle Beach 500X has cracked hinges due to cheap plastic used. It's an issue with their headsets, but they're the biggest brand available in NZ/Australia. The defect is covered in your NZ/Australian consumer
legislative rights, and Turtle Beach will refund or replace you with a new headset, so long as it's under it's normal is it 12 month warranty. But the warranty for this headset has expired. The retailer I got it from mightyape, gave me a replacement mid last
year while it was on warranty, but same thing has occurred again.

I like wireless and Dolby to enjoy the sound richness of Dolby 7.1. Windows Sonic is just a slish slosh of mixed untidy audio codecs which emulate Dolby 7.0, so it's nowhere near the quality of 7.1. I'm looking to get the Turtle Beach 800x since it's wireless
and dolby 7.1. Turtle Beach's NZ/Australian suppliers emailed me saying they don't sell directly to the public, but that Mightyape AU/NZ should be receiving some new stock soon. I've used duct tape and black cloth tape to hold together my 500x. I don't think
I'll try Astros as they're far too expensive and they have lots of complaints from mightyape customer reviews that they're overpriced and faulty. Turtle Beach offers a 2 year warranty on the 800x. The duct tape and cloth tape on my 500x is a little struggling
to hold it while wearing it.

I won't go with any other brand. They're either not fully compatible, or the sound isn't as good as turtle beach, not wireless or not as good 7.1 surround sound as turtle beach.

And plus there's more compatibility for Dolby 7.1 surround than Windows Sonic and just offers a much more pure audio experience than Windows Sonic. Xbox Support mentioned to me Xbox 360 is Dolby 7.1 surround compatible. Since Windows Sonic is a Microsoft
product thingy, it's not perfect, even after all these updates. I just prefer Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound. Better audio quality rather than trying to emulate surround sound with poor say, audio quality textures in bass and trebo and alto clef ranges.

 

I can't hear through any type of headset on multiple controllers....

Hi there DeeJay,

Hello,

Windows sonic is virtual surround so 5.1 if you want 7.1 , you have to purchase codec dobly atmos on the Xbox store or Microsoft store.
