I hope i've been clear enough and this will get to the proper channels. And yes it is possible, because razer surround software operates in such manner, it creates a 7.1 sound device whichĪppears in the control panel and is properly seen by games as such. What we need for the virtualization tech to work properly is a virtual 7.1 device that would be created when the virtual surround is enabled. It does work with games that have the possibilty to change the audio output configuration (but those are rare), we do know it is actually working. INSTEAD, those games look at the control panel, look at the speaker configuration, see stereo speakers and output plain stereo, and this isīAD. It works as designed BUT, the vast majority of modern gamesĭo not let us select the desired output, like a 7.1 configuration when available. Spit out a stereo signal that sounds just like being in the middle of a bunch of speakers. So dolby atmos tries to expand stereo, which is useless especially when it's not free.īefore somebody asks me to reinstall stuff or run useless tests (nothing is broken, well badly designed maybe) I will try to explain what we need in simple terms:īasically dolby atmos for headphones is designed to take in a 5.1/7.1 surround signal, which is generated by games or movies, churn it trhough a magical algorithm and Reverts any prior configuration to stereo anyway. Ticking "enable virtual 7.1 surround" does nothing as the control panel still reports stereo to games and You see, most of the modern games base their sound output on windows' own speaker setup, with no possibility to select something else. Except, most of the time it simply does not work, or to be more precise, there's a glaring design oversight from microsoft.

Note, windows sonic for headphones exibits the same behaviour, so it's not I went through some posts here about the issue but found no helpful answers, most of the time people just don't understand the issue, so i'm going to clarify it as much as possible.
