Windows 10: I can't enable windows sonic on my headphones

Hello, i bought a new headset from HyperX model cloud III, but i cant enable surroud sound. I tried instaling softwares for it, but it doesnt work. I have the same problem in the past with diferent headset. When i try to enable it it says: Při pokusu o zapnutí prostorového zvuku se něco pokazilo.

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.

 

dolby atmos for headphones vs windows sonic

Thanks for your reply. as the pay of $15 is to windows store not publisher. The source you provided is programming parameters still not explain in detail difference windows sonic and dolby atom for headphone.

The dolby atom for earphone states it can turn any set of earphone into dolby atom experience, that means it convert existing audio source into dolby atom channels then output to earphones?

also, I searched all over the web cannot find any information from Microsoft about windows sonic and dolby atom for earphone.

 

Does Windows Sonic for Headphones improve a 5.1 home theater setup as well?

I never tested, but i think could not work so well because it was made for headphones.

Actually i saw some reviews and comments saying otherwise, regarding Sonic being better.

And in fact Sonic is superior with more capability in terms of number of static channels(reaching 8.1.4.4) and dynamic objects
