Atmos Problem

I have a problem with Atmos. When the X1X is set up to output Dolby Atmos through my Denon AV receiver all Atmos titles from Blu-ray movies to Netflix work perfectly but everything else that isn’t Atmos is output as the lesser Dolby Surround even
titles that are Dolby Digital (which are most games and Blu-ray movies) are reduced to Dolby Surround, all Netflix titles that are DD5.1 are also reduced to Dolby Surround, however once I turn off Atmos in the X1X settings I get Dolby Digital displayed from
the other sources again on the Denon. Seems like Atmos is blocking Dolby Digital. Very annoying to keep changing settings depending on the content.

Can't Hear Game Audio or menu sounds through headset

Is your console enrolled in the Insider Preview Program?

When you go to the settings under Display&Sound, do you have the console set up to also play game sound through the headphones? If so, do you use any spatial surround modes like Windows Sonic or Dolby Atmos for headphones?

If you set it to Dolby Atmos for Headphones, did you actually purchase Dolby Atmos for headphones? If not, you could only try Dolby Atmos for headphones for two weeks. So check the settings if the headphones work with Stereo or Windows Sonic.

Hey there Devin Avenger,

This
blog post from Major Nelson has more information as well as steps on how to set it up. If you're still having issues though, you'll want to post in the Xbox One insider forums for the best help and visibility!

Hope it helps!

Hi RomiDumitru,

*maybe* this "problem" is exactly how the Dolby Atmos App on Xbox One X works.

Dolby Atmos native content? perfect! Dolby Atmos playback.

No Dolby Atmos? the App upmix current audio track to Dolby Atmos (the headphones features works in this way).

I don't know if is intentional.

Have found that if I turn off Dolby atmos through the tv settings it helps with the delay. Digital sound out on auto and Dolby atmos setting off on tv only. My current set up is LG CX with Samsung Q850A Soundbar. Hope this helps.

Do you have Dolby Atmos enabled in your Sound Settings? Have you downloaded the Dolby Atmos App from the Microsoft store and collaborated everything? I'm running Atmos currently set up as you described and I get Atmos when available so it isn't an update
issue. There was an issue with HDR but that was fixed with an update a little while ago.
