Under Speaker audio, select Bitstream out, then choose Dolby Atmos for Home Theater as the bitstream format. Once the app is installed, head to that Volume & audio output menu. Ignore any offers to buy a license once you open it, as this is only necessary for certain Atmos-enabled headphones, rather than sound systems.

Then, select either DTS Digital Surround or Dolby Digital as the bitstream format.Įnabling Dolby Atmos will first require you to download the Dolby Access app from the Microsoft Store. If you can use surround sound and are using an optical connection, choose Bitstream Out.If you can use surround sound and are using an HDMI ARC or eARC connection, select either 5.1 Uncompressed or 7.1 Uncompressed.If you’re using a soundbar with no digital surround sound functionality, choose Stereo Uncompressed.You’ll have a few different options to choose: Open General, then Volume & audio output. If you don’t have an Atmos-ready soundbar, start by opening the console’s system settings. Keep in mind that Atmos won’t work over optical connections, so you’ll need ARC or eARC for it. Setting up surround sound will vary depending on your connection method and whether you’re using a soundbar system that's compatible with Dolby Atmos, 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound.
