Dolby Atmos is created by Dolby Laboratories that provides you a spatial sound experience. It enhances your existing normal sound by enabling height channels, mixing sounds to interpreted multi-dimensional objects. So you feel deeper surround sound with great experiences.
Dolby Atmos is a premium spatial sound feature, therefore it is not available for every sound device. Basically Dolby Laboratories partners to sound device developers, and provides license to use dolby atmos surround sound.
Now as you have Dolby Atmos supported but you can’t experience surround sound until you don’t install the official software or drivers or you don’t enable the feature in the settings. So here I’m sharing step by step guide to activate Dolby Atmos for your Headphone.
