  1. Greetings ! i came across a pic of your Atmos setup posted by you in forums. I would like to know how you managed to achieve Display on monitor and audio from receiver to speakers. Thanks in advance :)

  2. If your trying to use Dolby Access App with a receiver, in short Dont. 1) It currently isn't supported by anything but the demos on the Dolby Access App. (Anything you could play prior in Atmos, didn't need this app. It doesn't add any benefit at the moment). But it does give you problems like your having now. When I had it, it was a song and dance to get it working. Working fine, turn on TV, well shit. Have to restart computer twice. Works fine. Turn off TV, shit. Have to restart computer twice. Works. Also sometimes sound is slow to initialize. I would... turn computer on, press sound up. Nothing. Sound Test... Nothing. Play Video file... first 4 seconds nothing... Whoop there is the sound. Also it makes it look like every audio signal you has an Atmos signal, but it doesn't. Medieval 2 Total war /w fake Atmos signal The best part is, it reduces all your quality to 48khz, where without the App only Atmos sound is reduced, everything else can stay 192kHz And I would have to do this regularly, regularly setup my speakers. Regularly setup my spatial. And it gets you, nothing. (At the moment). Nothing supports it through the windows setup. The worse part is unninstalling wont enitrely fix your problems. In the end I had to format and reinstall. I'm on CU, my Atmos works fine and dandy, I just didn't install the Dolby Acces App this time. Even the built in Windows "Movies & TV" app works fine with atmos, yet doesn't support the Atmos for home theater spatial settings. There's my take. Format your drive, don't install it. Battlefield 1, Battlefront, Test Tones, The video on the dolby homepage, Atmos movies, demo videos, they all work without the Dolby Access App. Actually the atmos homepage video gives me dolby digital + ...

  3. The movie Everest has Dolby atmos sound on the full HD BlueRay

  4. I use a powerline adapter. It's like they say, you just gotta try it. The worst you have to return it and pay 15% restocking fee. My Wifi was faster but dropped too much. My Powerline was slower, but never dropped. Both had decent pings for online gaming. I game, I use the powerline. I don't get spikes, and I enjoy it being more consistant. My pings are usually 50-70ms. Nobody knows your house though, how far the electrical loop is too your router. Mine is pretty damn far. It's worth trying.
  5. I have a 5.1.2 Atmos setup for my PC. If you heavily play Battlefield 1, Overwatch, Battlefront, you will possibly want Atmos. If you use a system like mine for Overwatch, you will want the overwatch for headphones turned off. Overwatch does support a non funky Atmos, it's implementation is just not clear till you fiddle with it. Atmos is gimmicky, but it's super cool at the same time, when that time does happen. Battlefront I found to be the best. A Tie flying over, sounds are so distinct. It's incredibly enjoyable. In Battlefield 1, it's less noticeable. When scripted planes fly overhead in Argonne Forest, it is so damn cool. When a plane in general flys over, it's so damn cool. When someone is on the second floor, it is somewhat kinda cool. When it's not one of those things, it's so damn expensively nothing. None of that will really give you any advantage except possibly the person on the second floor. The sound reflects off of my ceiling just fine. If you don't play one of those games, what are you doing with your money. 7.1 all day long. If you value your money, 7.1 all day long. If you make the mistake of going to a nice surround, you will never go back. Then you will have to spend more money on a cardoid microphone so it won't pick up your speakers that much. As for the sound card, I have mine disabled in bios. The reciever does all the processing, the scarlett powers my mic... You won't need one. The Dell USB Speaker that is on the desk for comms also is it's own soundcard. My PC does no internal sound processing. It just passes the buck by HDMI or USB... I haven't got to experience it in movies outside of the theatre because I've only seen it come on 4k discs, and I don't have a 4k tv nor a 4k bluray player.
