Making Audio Enhancers Work on Windows

[Jayce]

Reduce the value of Volmax Boost down
May be due to exceeding the Headroom limit. It will distort

This is not the reason why the distortion/stuttering of audio happens. Dolby finally fixed the issue.

The app is the same as for Dolby Atmos for Gaming. The xml files you use will change the app from Dolby Atmos for Gaming to Dolby Atmos Speaker System for Gaming

It worked, thank you!

This issue doesn't happen to me with the latest version of Dolby Atmos speaker system for gaming. I don't how this happens for you.

With the new APO Driver 2.4.0 both Dolby Atmos Speaker System for Gaming & Dolby Atmos for Headphones spartial work perfectly. But something I wonder, when I set the share mode default at studio mode 48kHz 24bit the sound is very weird, the bass were louder and the vocal is not normal because of the bass, but I set down to 48kHz 16bit everything works fine. I have ALC887, running win10 RS5, i use 5.1 analog Soundmax B-10W connect via 3 RCA to 3.5mm on backpanel of the mobo.

I am not talking about Dolby Atmos for Headphone; I was one of the first to find that method. I am talking about headphone effect for regular stereo content, like the headphone default, small, medium, large that dolby atmos speaker system for gaming provides for headphone users.
I an asking for a modded xml file.

sound blaster cinema 5 or dolby for gaming, better for gaming? ( virtual 7.1 headphones)

I dont think the atmos for headphone is workingall the time. Its only work when there is a atmos content. You will see the line "Dolby atmos for headphone is in use" when you play the demo content or some media content which support atmos media. Otherwise its wont run and only use the speaker system for gaming setting

Indeed Atmos for Headphone does not work for regular stereo. The dolby atmos speaker system for gaming by itself provides the Dolby Headphone effect. This effect is automatically applied on any headphone endpoint. You will recognise that an endpoint was recognised as headphone when dolby atmos speaker system for gaming displays a headphone icon on top. It is the third button from the left. If it is absent, it is replaced by a non-clickable speaker icon.
On headphone mode, you can click the headphone button to open a window that allows for selection of headphone preset.
Your device must support a headphone endpoint. On realtek, it is most easily done by enabling indepandent output. The headphone out on a laptop is then automatically configured. I do not know the specific procedure for a desktop. Maybe enabling the indepandent out, and then finding whether the front jack or the rear jack is the headphone out.

On desktop, its easier, you only need to select the connection to the mobo or front panel is headphone in realtek driver. But i dont know how to make this happen on usb or laptop so I have to rename the preset to make the normal internal speaker or usb headset run the headphone preset.

I have one laptop with indepandent input capability. There Headphone mode works.
Another older laptop does not have such a feature. For that one, I am searching an alternative method.

Hmm thats weird. On my laptop, when I plugged in the 3.5mm headphone jack its detected Headphone automatically and switch to headphone mode. Which driver of the audio do your laptop use? Realtek uad or microsoft hdaudio?

Could you clarify what you mean by headphone mode? do you mean Dolby switch automatically to headphone mode? Or something else?
I did not thoroughly test whether the newer laptop can have Dolby work in HP mode without indepandent input, as I apply different APO settings for the internal laptop speaker and for the headphone out.
The old (westmere era) laptop is limited in not supporting Dolby headphone out.

Well my laptop is about 5 or 6 years old. In APO its has only 1 endpoint is Realtek. The Dolby app switch automatically from internal speaker to HP mode right at the time I plug in my headphone jack the icon HP in dolby gaming app is show up and i could choose headphone preset.when i plugged out my headphone, its turn back to internal speaker and default preset (no more HP icon in dolby gaming app) my laptop is acer V3 471
