Windows 10: Delete/Uninstall Windows Sonic for Headphones completely

So I have been using Dolby Access for spatial sounds... but sometimes, it just changes back to Windows Sonic for some reason. Is there anyway to delete, disable or remove it? I can work around with stuff in registry if I need to.

:)

 

Windows Sonic doesn't work in applications unless realtek is set to 7.1, which disables windows sonic.

Hi Dorklingshot,

I would like to know what device you were trying to work with Windows Sonic. If you're trying to set up Windows Sonic for Headphones, then follow these steps:

1. Connect your headphones to your computer.
2. Once done, right-click on the Speaker icon on the system tray, and select
   Spatial sound. If you have a drop-down option, then select
   Windows Sonic for Headphones. If you don't, then proceed with the next step.
3. On the Speaker Properties window, click the Spatial sound.
4. Under Spatial sound format, click the drop-down arrow, and select Windows Sonic for Headphones.
5. Tick the box for Turn on 7.1 virtual surround sound.
6. Click Apply, then OK.

Please update this thread with the result so I can assist you further if needed.

Regards.

 

How do I uninstall/remove Windows Sonic completely?

You can't disable specific spatial sound, you can only disable them ALL, thats why am I asking here, i have Windows Sonic and Dolby Atmos listed under spatial sound option. There is no way to disable Windows Sonic, Dolby Atmos is possible to be uninstalled because its an app, I dont want to disable spatial sound because then I cant choose Dolby Atmos. I was hoping for some registry tweak since its integrated in windows

Hello! Sorry you are having this issue. Hopefully we can fix it.

Windows update routinely breaks drivers. It may be worth it to completely uninstall the sound drivers and reinstall them.

However, it seems like you fixed the issue by disabling sonic, do you need sonic? If not then the problem was resolved.
