Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision

RolandRohde · Mar 30, 2017

Hi Everyone!

Mass Effect Andromeda was announced as the first game to support Dolby Vision, and one of currently a few that support Dolby Atmos.

The XBOX One and One S are getting support for Dolby Atmos with the latest "Creation" Firmware Upgrade, and Dolby has made Dolby Vision available as a "Software-Only" package, so it could also be implemented my MS.

Are there any plans to support one or both of these technologies in "Andromeda" for the XBOX ONE and ONE S?

Thanks!

:)

Dolby vision in the Netflix app

I have an LG oled c7 and watch netflix trough webOs .

By doing it this way you should get Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos.

Microsoft will roll out an sofware update for netflix Dolby Vision shortly.

For the moment Dolby Vision is not supported on the Netflix app via Xbox.

I hope they also update the blu ray player shortly because there is much more content available on 4k uhd blu ray.

4K Bluray Dolby Vision question

What is weird, I have a Dolby Vision TV, and in my settings, it says "Your TV supports and older version of Dolby Vision that isn't compatible with Xbox One"....What kind of dumb shit is that? How many different versions of Dolby Vision is there? Every other check mark is there except it.

Also, I paid for the Dolby Atmos cause I wanted it for my headphones cause thought it was some universal thing that made things better, but I don't have any speakers or headphones that say they have dolby atmos, and still not quite sure how that works either.

Hi o all to be honest is not impossible to do Dolby Vision on all the Xboxone and the reason is very simple. The real benefit of Dolby Vision is that it doesn't need the new HDMI 2.0 standard to work. 'Regular' HDR10 signals do need
HDMI 2.0, a standard that only the latest kit has. Because Dolby Vision can operate with HDMI 1.4, its potential applications are much greater, which is very good news. Dolby Vision is now available as a software update to upgrade compatible kit - Pocket-lint

Hello, I tried all three of these, and still do not see Dolby Vision enabled. I see Ultra 4k, HDR10, Dolby Atmos in Disney+ shows that should have DV. It still shows that Dolby Vision is supported in the video options, but is not showing in the apps.

Any help is appreciated!

I'm not asking the Xbox to decode the Atmos in any way. I just want it to stream the signal from the disc to my receiver, which will do the decoding, so the Xbox should not even need any kind of a Dolby license, unless their license agreement is really unfair.

Also, the Xbox Dolby Access app only allows purchasing a license for headphone connections. The HDMI connection to my receiver is definitely not a headphone connection.

Oddly enough, there are demos on the Dolby Access app. They output Dolby Vision picture, but the audio comes out as Dolby Digital 5.1 when it is a demo for Dolby Atmos. There is something very wrong with the way Atmos is handled on the Xbox.

Hey so I will say, I have tested this with an HT-7000 as well as an LG S95QR, and the issue with centre channel audio/subwoofer not working is an issue exclusively with the Samsung soundbars.

I have an LG G2 OLED, and it’s e-Arc port might have changed if you have say a C1 or CX, but I have no issues with lipsync/audio delay on these TV’s when the tv settings, Xbox and soundbar settings are correct (lag is indistinguishable from 7.1 uncompressed). Sometimes it is a result of the TV though and it’s e-Arc port/processing, so the Sharc V2 by ThenAudio is a device that you would have to add if your still experiencing audio delay issues.

First thing of order though is getting a viable Atmos soundbar for Atmos gaming, which the Samsungs at the moment are not. From My understanding, there are different “types” of Dolby Atmos, just like there are different types of Dolby Vision (such as Low Latency Dolby Vision/LLDV, and regular Dolby Vision). The Q930B doesn’t support every Atmos format.

Last years Samsung soundbars had the same issue. They could use Dolby MAT (Blue Ray version of Dolby Atmos), and it wasn’t until the 2022 soundbars that they fixed this. Now, this years soundbars don’t support LPCM Atmos, or Dolby Mat 2.0. You can see this issue actually present on the soundbar, if you go into a non-Atmos game on your Xbox (when set to Dolby Atmos for Home Theatre), and you check the information on the soundbar it displays as “Multi-Channel PCM” rather than “Dolby Audio”. It’s an issue with the soundbars not supporting enough audio formats essentially, and it downconverts it to another channel, causing issues.
