Windows 10: No Virtual Surround With New Headphone From Amazon

These headphones from Amazon (see Link) are supposed to have 7.1 virtual surround sound. It only shows as a stereo device in Windows 10 (build 18363.535)

It is a model EasyAcc G941 (or EasyAcc 7.1 Virtual Surround Sound USB Gaming Headphones).

I have since found out it is sold under a variety of brands. For instance: MSI DS502 and by SADES.

I tried installing all these drivers (and of course the EasyAcc driver) and they are identical except for the brand logo. The driver is always a C-Media driver with version 8.1.12.26 and a driver date from 2015. All the controls are locked down or invisible except for stereo left/right volume control. In Windows 10, it shows as a stereo device in control panel.

How can I make this work with 7.1 surround sound?

Dolby Atmos Headphones Spatial viritual surround sound 7.1 on or off?

I suspect that means Dolby Atmos for Headphones would be used for any multichannel audio, but also properly use the metadata in any Atmos track when it's available. If not, then it would be poorly coded because it can recognize Atmos metadata when Dolby Atmos for Headphones is enabled, it'd be silly stupid for that to be disabled when vss is enabled.

 

Adjusting headphone volume


Mines only has Microphone under Recording and Speakers under Playback. This is using RealTek HD Audio sound, it does change from Virtual Surround to Headphone Virtualization Surround depending if the headphones are plugged/unplugged.

 

Dolby Atmos Headphones Spatial viritual surround sound 7.1 on or off?


The option "turn on 7.1 virtual surround sound"

Do you need to turn this on or off in use with Dolby Atmos for headphones?
I read you need to disable "enhancements" when using Dolby Atmos

However since the 7.1 virtual sound option is in the tab of spatial audio, where dolby atmos resides.
It gives the impression they are ment to be used together.

Does anyone have more knowledge about this?
