Don’t underestimate the importance of good audio. An atmospheric, cinematic soundtrack anchored by subtle ambient noise and explosive sound effects can be even more important than the visuals.
Like Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos delivers this audio with exact precision as envisioned by the game developers. Even in games that don’t specifically implement this spatial audio engine, enabling Dolby Atmos makes for a much more impressive soundstage.
You’ll need a compatible TV and soundbar to use Dolby Atmos, but there’s also a version for headphones that can work with even the budget-minded options. Here’s where to enable it once you have the prerequisite hardware.
-
Go to Settings > General > Volume & audio output
-
Under Speaker audio > HDMI audio, select “Dolby Atmos for home theaters.”
-
For Headset Audio > Headset format, select “Dolby Atmos for Headphones.”
Note that Dolby Atmos for Headphones can work with almost any headset designed for Xbox Series X and Series S, but you must pay for the Dolby Access app, which you can find in the Xbox store. For the best results, you’ll also want to disable any audio enhancement features built into the headset.
Alternatively, you can choose to use Windows Sonic for Headphones (a free alternative) and DTS Headphone:X, though most developers are leaning toward Dolby Atmos. Don’t forget to head into the game’s audio setting menus. Some games will offer a sound mix designed specifically for headphones, home theater systems, and other common setups.
