    Soundbar not working on PC anymore. Only outputs sound when I play something with Dolby Atmos?


    Before all this happened my setup was a HDMI cable from my Soundbar (HW-Q90R) to my GPU and everything registered like it should have and worked fine. It gave me the option to configure my speakers from all the channels all the way up to 7.1 and even the "Dolby Atmos Home Theater" option from Dolby Accress, but now all these options are gone and it won't play anything other than sound from Netflix? My Spotify, Chrome, everything else doesn't play any sound.

    This is making me so infuriated because literally all I did was try and plug the HDMI cord from my soundbar to my monitor so that I can hear sound through my Switch that is connected to the monitor but that didn't work for some reason so I replugged the HDMI into my GPU like I did before and now it won't work... I can't setup my soundbar with Dolby Access anymore and it will not output any sound. How do I completely uninstall all the drivers associated with my soundbar to get a fresh restart? Because it worked the first time I plugged it in.

    dolby access dolby atmos for home theater

    I want to try dolby atmos sond on PC and looked inti windows 10 dolby access dolby atmos for home theater. I searched atmos sounbars and find all atmos sonndbar pair with receivers. I

    I find this Pioneer Surround Elite Atmos Soundbar is one of the budget range. dolby access dolby home theater need dolby atmos enabled home theater or soundbar. All atmos home theater paired with receiver. I contacted support and they said the soundbar
    would not output audio without connected to to recriver. All ports on the receiver are all ocupied The only port left is HDMI out (ARC) for connect to TV.

    if dolby atmos for home theater only support HDMI on home theater, how can it conned to PC HDMI ?
