DTS App- The new DTS Headphone app says I can “buy” for 0.00$ but then says “try free for...

I know the Dolby Atmos headphone app works directly on Dolby Atmos preprocessing. Sinilarly the GTS X app works preprocessing.

How hard is it to write the logic saying this:

If preprocessed audio is a Dolby format, just use Dolby Atmos headphone app.

If preprocessed audio is DTS format, just use DTS X headphone app.

If preprocessed audio is lpcm, then use Windows Sonic headphone app

I wanted to work exactly like my Turtle Beach DSS except is more flexible and can handle higher Dolby soundtracks and DTS and lpcm.

I assume the Turtle Beach DSS worked directly on Dolby 5.1 from the Toslink port.

I would do it myself except it doesn't do DTS at all any justice.

I'm relying on my headphone app to give me directions because I don't have a big enough or symmetrical enough room to house a communal system. Plus communal surround sound systems are very expensive at the most basic $200 for just the decoder plus $100 for each speaker plus the wire and stuff like that. Versus 35 bucks regular price for a Dolby app and a DTS app. And the windows Sonic app is given for free for lpcm stuff.

When I do Dolby or DTS headphone app it overrides the preprocessing and directly converts Dolby connunal into Dolby headphone and DTS connunal into DTS headphone.

All you do is move the conditional up if you're doing best match. You just select the best headphones format before you decode into lpcm.

How hard is it to write a program more professionally expressing what this is in real world terms:

1. Audio sensors, listen for coded audio.

2a if coded audio then detect language of code:

2aI if dolby language detected. Set output to Dolby Headphones,

2aII If DTS language detected ,set output to DTS.

2b if uncoded. Set output to Windows Sonic.

I bought both the license from Dolby with the Dolby Atmos Headphone app and from DTS with the DTS Headphone X App. And I still have to play security games with Xbox?

There is one thing Xbox has that (i guess) professional audio equipment doesn't: versatility. You'd think it would have the ability to detect audio codes and adjust just the output setting to match the codes. The Xbox Prime (the one we used to call the Xbox One before the 360's successor appropriated that name) DOES have the ability to convert DTS to Dolby if Dolby is selected on and DTS is selected off. (And vice versa)

Isn't converting DTS to Dolby conversions and vice versa more complex that pairing the right headphone app with the media it is currently playing. I paid for the license to convert communal coded sound to headphone surround, yet i don't have the ability to autodetect sound codes, but professional sound equipment can?

Hello, if you think Dolby Atmos, DTS and LPCM are 3D formats: then you don't know the technical aspects of physical movies.

Close but no cigar.

It does deal with 3d, but it's spatial AUDIO not video.

Most audiophiles have "communal surround sound" which is speakers and a converter box. They convert Dolby and DTS into LPCM and pipe surround sound directly into speakers

However headphone users have to convert surround sound into surround headphone sound directly. Dolby headphones converts Dolby encoded movie and ONLY Dolby ones into headphone surround. Same with DTS.

If you try to mix formats, like decoding DTS discs with a Dolby decoder or vice versa, the results are flat, muted, and unrelated to the 3d space of the movie.

Headphone users have to match for type. Unless you can give me a reason why "Always Dolby" or "Always DTS" is a good idea, there is no reason those options ARE available, yet "Match Media" is not an option.

Match Media should be the default, and not an option we have to moan and b***h over. If both Dolby Labs and the DTS makers say it's best to keep likes together, and they don't even try to decode the other company's language, and physical disc releases come in all 3 varieties: Dolby, DTS, and LPCM, then why is "Match Media" not AN option, let alone the DEFAULT option?

You'll find most Blu-rays use DTS Master Audio in stead of Dolby, which would likely be a component of it. An easy way to test this would be to do the free trial of the DTS app and see what happens

The original Dolby Digital Headphone on a Turtle Beach was great in conveying 3d sound. Dolby Atmos Headphone is even better with Atmos encoded Blu Rays/ 3D discs, and works just as well on Dolby Digital.

Is the difference in sound worth a year's gross salary for a Social Security Disability recipient? Maybe if you have a $100k a year job, but if the above describes your real income, then no..

The problem is that DTS and LPCM encoded discs do not sound right with either Dolby decoder.

The DTS Headphone works better than the Dolby converter on DTS encoded movies. Even "basic DTS". And likewise it drops the ball on Dolby or LPCM encoded Movies.

Windows Sonic is the one that works somewhat with all formats. But is the only one that works with native LPCM discs,

Now a website called (moderator removed), which has an agreement with the studios that they play 3d versions of movies that are not available on Blu Ray in the USA, says they have surround sound, but do not know individual titles' audio code language. They say it's a crapshoot.

What do I do in this case?

Is there an "all code solution" for home headphone cinema? Not for $40 combined for both Dolby and DTS.
