Windows 10: Windows Sonic - it is awful and I want to remove it. How?

A lot of us that uses Dolby Atmos for Headphones have an issue where Windows Sonic why does this exist? it sounds awful will automatically be set as the spatial surround sound default when we restart/ turn on our dac or bluetooth headphones.


So far everyone at Microsoft has said to just change the spatial setting in sounds options and off you go... no, that doesn't work, when say, you open a program or game and as it's loaded in this Sonic setting, once changing to Atmos - you have to restart the program/game to get sound to work at all. This is extremely counterproductive and a simple "turn off completely" OR "set as default" option on each spatial choice would improve everyone's stress levels.


Is there perhaps a registry setting that can disable Windows Sonic for Headphones? perhaps a program that lets us delete it although I'm sure the next windows update will bring it back from the dark depths from where it belongs


Please guys, hear us out, there's countless of questions about this and it's always the same copy and paste answers and when challenged on the idiocrasy of this particular setting, you lock the forum and we just have to go along with it. Don't forget, we pay you so please support us and let's get this fixed!


thanks :

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.

 

Trying to upgrade Win 7 home to Win 10...keep getting error message to "uninstall Sonic Studio dla"

This link is "File Not Found"

To remove Sonic Studio DLA we would suggest you to run Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. Once the tool is installed, launch it from the Start menu and remove the Sonic program from the list of programs.
