Windows 10: My windows 11 doesn't let me use Dolby spatial audio

When I go to audio settings, spatial audio, select the drop down menu, select Dolby, the menu closes and it goes back to off. In the settings app, if I go in the audio device, the spatial audio is greyed out, even tho I have Dolby Atmos for headphones purchased. Help please I don't know what to do I can't find anything on google

Dolby Atmos option not appearing in spatial sound

Hi guys, I have a new soundbar with Dolby Atmos and connected it to my TV and PC. I can open it in the Access App and also test the audio but when it tells me to change spatial sound, i cannot select Dolby Atmos.

I know that there are a lot of topics here but I already tried all things written there as possible solution

• Windows 11 update
  
• Delete drivers
  
• Exclusive Mode off and on
  
• Compatibility mode
  

 

Spatial Audio Dolby Atmos No Sound in games but works in Apps like Dolby Access & Netflix App

Previously, you can use computer speakers on spatial audio. But Microsoft considered it a bug and requires you to actually use headphones for spatial audio.

Are the games you play listed as a dolby atmos compatible game? If not, then you can't use dolby atmos for home theater as that is primarily for pre-authored movie content.

 

Dolby Atmos for Home Theater is missing from Spatial audio in Windows 11

yes, dolby access is installed. it cannot complete setup because it wants me to enable the option in the Spatial sound drop menu...but the option to do so is missing from the menu





on a related note, this was found on dolby's website

"There are no additional licensing costs to support Dolby Atmos in games. On PC and Xbox rendering to Dolby Atmos is done at the OS level from the audio passed to Microsoft Spatial Sound from the game's audio engine." ( Documentation | Dolby Games )
