DOLBY VISION messing my Game Mode up through Auto-Low-Latency-Mode

Just to be sure. Go to TV and video options and under video modes disable low latency mode, hdr10, auto HDR and Dolby Vision if you use and test games again.

The Xbox is able to recognise the Dolby Atmos capability on the soundbar if connected directly .

However FreeSync (variable refresh rate ) is not selectable on the display and sound settings page of the Xbox X.

Free Sync is available on my Samsung Q9 and is an option in the game mode menu of the TV.

Game mode is a TV mode that allows low latency on Samsung (and other manufacturers) TV's.

My TV allows Auto Low Latency and this doesn't work when plugged directly into the soundbar (Samsung HW-N950) despite Auto Low -Latency being recognised on the Display & Sound settings page on the Xbox X. The TV will not allow this when the Xbox is plugged
into the soundbar via HDMI then into the TV by HDMI ARC.

Auto Game mode or Auto Low Latency turns on game mode while playing games but turns game mode off automatically should i use a blu ray disc for example.

So two modes made available to me by Xbox and Samsung currently don't work in tandem in the correct manner.

Hi Udder Discharge,

Thanks for reaching out to the Xbox forums! I am sorry to hear that you struggle with Dolby Vision/Dolby for Gaming and Allow Auto Low Latency Mode. I am more than happy to help answer your questions to the best of my knowledge and find additional resources for you. Your Xbox Series X came with an HDMI 2.1. An HDMI 2.1 cable adds auto low latency mode (ALLM) that will automatically switch your display to its best mode for gaming. Also, you are correct that if your display comes with a Game Mode, you want to turn it off as it can interfere with your image. HMDI 2.0 limits the HDR10 and, of course, viewing things at 120hrz. ALLM works with Dolby vision. As for using a soundbar, you need to use an HDMI ARC-enabled soundbar and TV port. You need to make sure it's either Arc or eArc. You will also need to purchase the Dolby Atmos app on Xbox to enable it.

I hope these suggestions help! If this answers your question, please mark the thread as “Answered.”

Hi, Chris! Thank you for reaching out.

"Auto low-latency mode" allows games to switch a TV into auto low-latency mode (Game Mode).

For your reference, the following information has been quoted from an official Xbox Support article:

"Auto low-latency mode (also known as “game mode”) lets the console tell the display to change latency modes when a game is launched, and then revert after you quit a game."

"Note: Low-latency mode is achieved by the TV disabling its processing features that would otherwise introduce latency. Disabling these processing features may affect picture quality—HDR colors can appear washed out, and contrast and backlighting can appear off because of the trade-off for low latency. Turn off this feature if you don’t like the picture quality."

I tried looking up your monitor, but I can't seem to find it without its model number. My apologies.

Unless your monitor has a "Game Mode" you can enable, you will continue to see this setting grayed out.

Best regards.
