    windows spartial sound only for headphone?

    Hello:

    Here I have few more questions.

    In the first paragraph from
    here
    . The actual output format is selected by the user, and can be abstracted from Windows Sonic implementations; audio will be presented to existing speakers, headphones, and home theater receivers without needing any code or content changes. so spartial
    sound can apply to speaker or not?

    There are lots comments from numerous online forum argue windows spartial sound support and output only 2 channels, even 'virtual 7.1 surround' is enabled. is that true?

    Does spartial sound override windows default format? When I plug regular on PC front panel, supported by realtek, windows audio will show a separate item for 2nd output aside from speakers, when spartial sound enabled windows default formats would gray.

    if spartial sound is only apply to headphones. How does it distinguish from other audio devices or speakers? I use a soundbar with Bluetooth. windows audio identify it as a heaphone.

    Hi.

    Here I provide further details of my question.

    Spartial sound is available to all audio devices detected by windows, but whenever click spartial sound to enable dolby atmos for headphone or windows sonic for headphone, default format always point to '2 channels 16bit 48000HZ'.

    Here is for regular stereo earphone.

    When I connect soundbar to Bluetooth, windows identify it as a heaphone. windows default it point to 2 channel but grayed out.

    So does spartial sound apply to existing speakers, in this case the sounbard on optical connection? is spartial sound is 2 channels or only output 2 channels?

    windows spartial sound only for headphone?

    I poste on MSDN developer forum. They are mainly for developers discuss their own app development.

    To continue here, the "existing speakers" seems to regard to the built-in speakers on your PC and not external speakers, is point to audio devices listed in windows audio, most common used realtek and sound blaster, right?

    For the channels, developers were able to patch realtek driver to enable DTS or dobly digital addition to windows default formats, when enable spartial sound, default format automatically set to 2 channels. That is why many users argue spartial sound only
    support 2 channels.
