    Xbox will only output sound in Dolby Atmos


    Since the April Xbox One update, my Xbox will now only output sound in Dolby Atmos mode, even when the content I am watching does not support Dolby Atmos. Before the update, there would only be Dolby Atmos sound when the show or movie I was watching supported
    Dolby Atmos. This isn't all that bad, except with Dolby Atmos I am unable to change the sound mode that my soundbar outputs. For example, when I am watching sports, I can't change the sound to sports mode because it thinks my cable service is somehow providing
    Dolby Atmos sound.

    :)

    Labyrinth 4K Atmos Bluray - Dolby Atmos not working with Xbox One S

    TV - Vizio M55-C2 4K TV - latest firmware/software

    https://support.vizio.com/s/article/M55-C2-Model-Information?language=en_US

    Receiver - Yamaha Aventage RX-A660 (Dolby Atmos capable) - latest firmware/software

    RX-A660 - Overview - AV Receivers - Audio & Visual - Products - Yamaha - United States

    Xbox One S - latest firmware/software

    Bluray - Labyrinth 4K Blu-ray

    I cannot get the Xbox One S to output Dolby Atmos to my receiver for this bluray.

    The Dolby Atmos app samples on Xbox One work fine and receiver outputs Atmos.

    This bluray only outputs Dolby TrueHD (not Atmos). Xbox set to Bitstream passthrough to Yamaha receiver and Atmos setting to home theater enabled but only TrueHD output.

    Any ideas?

    Xbox will only output sound in Dolby Atmos

    I am experiencing a similar issue; everything comes across the av receiver as Dolby Atmos, when previously it switched as needed.

    Dolby Atmos audio from Xbox One is delayed

    Hi

    I have the same problem like you. I have an Xbox One X connected through HDMI cable to an Onkyo amplituner 7.1 which is capable to decode Dolby Atmos & DTS X.

    I have installed Dolby app on my Xbox to get Dolby atmos sound and the result was that I have on all the games no matter if these are with sound in Dolby Atmos or not only in Dolby Atmos.

    Is very strange to get that. I have supposed that when I buy a game with sound in Dolby Digital 5.1 to have Dolby Digital 5.1 and when I buy games in Dolby Atmos to get Dolby Atmos in my amplituner Onkyo.

    The same problem I have with all the movies from Netflix. I installed the Netflix app on my Xbox One X and now all the movies I see have sound in Dolby Atmos, even if in the name of the movie on Netflix it is said the sound is recorded only in Dolby Digital
    5.1.

    What to do in that situation ?......I have tried every settings on my Xbox without any result.......When I put settings on output sound in Xbox everything I played is all in Atmos.

    Like you said: "We don't need everything to be upscaled to Atmos, we just want Atmos to work on stuff that is Atmos as it should!"

    Thanks in advance for everybody give me every piece of advice

    Romeo.

    Only party audio playing through headset?

    Is it possible that you set your sound output for headphones to Dolby Atmos and didn't buy the Dolby Atmos App?

    If so, you will be able to try Dolby Atmos through Headphones for 14 days, after which it'll stop working.

    You need to switch to basic Stereo or Windows Sonic if you want spatial 3D sound without paying for Dolby Atmos.

    Will Microsoft every update the UHD blu ray player to be able to stream atmos?? It’s a joke

    Thank you. My atmos works on everything except the UHD player, there is no support on it for dolby atmos - even if everything is switched on down to the sound settings on the blu ray disc it will only out put dolby tru HD at its optimum - microsoft just
    need to do a patch to update it - its just coding afterall, as the xbox outputs atmos anyway ha ha
