Microsoft Selects Dolby Audio for Windows 10

Dolby Laboratories, Inc. and Microsoft Corporation announced today that Dolby Audio is selected to be a part of the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system and will be natively supported by the new Microsoft Edge browser for the playback of web-based content as well as accessible by third-party Windows Store apps. Users of Microsoft Windows 10 PCs and tablets will enjoy Dolby quality audio experiences through Windows entertainment apps and through Microsoft Edge.

Dolby Audio (supporting Dolby Digital Plus) will be available in x86 Windows 10 PCs and tablets for playback of movies, TV shows, and videos with crisp, clear dialogue and greater detail of sounds. Windows 7 and 8 users may upgrade to Windows 10 for free and continue to experience Dolby quality audio consistently across headphones, built-in PC and tablet speakers, or connected home theater systems. Microsoft Edge will be the first browser to leverage the Dolby Digital Plus decoder on the Windows 10 operating system, enabling online content providers to enrich the entertainment experiences of millions of Internet users globally with Dolby Audio.

"We are excited about the collaboration and partnership with Microsoft and share in the commitment to providing the best entertainment experiences possible to consumers across a wide range of devices in the Windows 10 ecosystem," said John Couling, Senior Vice President, E-Media Business Group, Dolby Laboratories. "With the launch of Windows 10 and Microsoft Edge in nearly 200 countries, Dolby and Microsoft will enable better user experiences with high-quality audio that is robust, consistent, and at a scale necessary for the large Windows ecosystem."

"At Microsoft, we are committed to delivering the richest, most immersive, entertainment experiences with Windows 10," said David Treadwell, Corporate Vice President, Operating Systems Group, Microsoft. "With Dolby Audio incorporated into the Windows 10 platform and Microsoft Edge, content providers will be able to deliver their content with superior sound in Dolby Audio for a wide range of Windows 10 based PCs and tablets."

Hi there, I am , a fellow Microsoft user like you.

I understand your frustration. First, please restart your device as it might help with the issue. If the problem persists, you can manually update your audio driver using the Device Manager. Here's a helpful guide: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/upd...

If the issue continues, you can attempt to repair and reset the Dolby Access app. Follow these steps:

> Press the Windows + I key to open Settings.

> Click on the "Apps" tab > Click on "Installed apps."

> Scroll through the app list or use the search bar to locate the Dolby Access app.

> Click the three-dots menu (...) next to Dolby Access and select "Advanced options."

> Scroll down to the Terminate section and click on "Terminate."

> Scroll down to the Reset section, and click on "Repair." Wait for a moment, after that test if it is working.

> If the issue persists, go back to the same settings, scroll down to the Reset section, and click on "Reset" (confirm the action if prompted).

> Restart your PC and test.

If you're still facing problems, consider uninstalling the Dolby Access app and reinstalling it from the Microsoft Store. This might resolve any underlying issues.

I hope one of these steps helps you get Dolby Access up and running again. If you have any further questions or run into any issues, feel free to reach out.
