    I am unable to enable Dolby Atmos for Headphones on my Xbox one


    I am unable to enable Dolby Atmos for Headphones on my Xbox one.

    It looks like Dolby Access not detecting the type/model of the connected Headset (Astro A50 Wireless Headset Gen 3) and as a result does not enable the “setting” page where I can adjust the EQ values. Any fix known?

    I have checked and confirm the following:

    1. The connected Headset device (Astro A50 Gen 3 Wireless Head-set) Supports Dolby Atmos. And is functioning OK when connected to my Console
    2. I have configured all the properties required for the device via Xbox “Setting>general>volume & audio out-put” page
    3. All the software applications (Xbox, Astro A50, Dolby Access), are up-to-date

    :)

    Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

    If you have already confirmed that your headset device supports Dolby Atmos and have configured the audio settings on your Xbox, here are a few more steps you can try to enable Dolby Atmos for Headphones on your Xbox One:

    Check if you have an active Dolby Atmos license: To enable Dolby Atmos for Headphones, you need an active Dolby Atmos license. To check if you have an active license, go to the Microsoft Store on your Xbox One, search for "Dolby Access," and check if it says "Owned" next to the app. If it doesn't, you may need to purchase the app to get the license.

    Install and setup the Dolby Access App: If you have an active Dolby Atmos license, make sure that you have downloaded and installed the Dolby Access app on your Xbox One. Once the app is installed, launch it and follow the instructions to set up Dolby Atmos for Headphones.

    Dolby Atmos for Headphones for Xbox

    I did that and when I click Dolby Atmos for headphones in my audio settings on my Xbox it pops up a window that says I need to download Dolby Atmos for Headphones from the Dolby Access app. Then in the same window it gives me the option to learn more and
    when I click learn more. It takes me to my Dolby Access app. Just to tell me I have to turn Dolby Atmos for Headphones on in my Xbox audio settings. It is a repeated cycle. Both is telling me I need to enable something on the other but it won't let me

    Dolby Atmos on Netflix

    Dolby Atmos and Atmos for headphones are two different things. Netflix does not support Atmos for headphones as far as I am aware

    Dolby Atmos audio from Xbox One is delayed

    As much as I hope that is the case, I don't dare assume they are looking into it.

    While Dolby Atmos for Headphones is enabled by a license key managed through the Dolby Access app, the Dolby Atmos encoding is integrated into the system software.
