Connecting it (or any other standalone A10 Headset) to your PlayStation 4 will still not give PS4 users spatial audio as Sony supports neither Atmos nor Sonic. Please note: the PS4 A10 will work with any platform or device.
#DOLBY ATMOS VS WINDOWS SONIC PRO#
If you select Atmos or Sonic, make sure to disable Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound on your MixAmp Pro TR.Īll standalone A10 Headsets (PS4/Xbox One/PC) are compatible with Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic by simply connecting your A10 Headset’s Volume Control Cable to a 3.5mm jack on your Xbox One or PC. Because 3D audio is processed via software, it can be transmitted via stereo signal to any 3.5mm port, or via an Optical port. As we may have mentioned above, there is no current compatibility with Sony, thus the PS4 versions of our headsets will not be listed here. We’ve listed compatible ASTRO Gaming headsets below. Currently, there are no plans for PlayStation support with Windows Sonic.

It is compatible with Windows 10 PC/tablets, and Xbox One.
#DOLBY ATMOS VS WINDOWS SONIC UPDATE#
Windows Sonic is free, and is already available as an update for Windows and Xbox. It also allows all existing applications that were capable of rendering to 5.1 or 7.1 channel formats to now treat all stereo headphones as a virtual 7.1 device. The platform fully supports real-time Dolby Atmos encoding for both Optical and stereo headphone output, as well as Windows Sonic for Headphones encoding for stereo headphones.

Audio will be presented to headphones without needing any code or content changes. Spatial sound can be leveraged by Windows Desktop (Win32) apps as well as Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps on both Windows and Xbox One. Windows Sonic is Microsoft’s answer to spatial sound. Currently, there are no plans for PlayStation support with Dolby Atmos. The app is free, and you can try it for free, but you need to buy it if you want to keep it. The first time running Dolby Atmos, there will be a Windows Store pop-up for Dolby Access. While audio engineers have been acquainted with Atmos for a few years, gamers are getting access to this feature on Xbox One and Windows. This feature enables all Xbox consoles to pass Blu-ray audio data untouched to a user’s audio equipment, allowing your headset to produce an immersive sound experience. Let’s dig a little deeper into current 3D spatial audio solutions.ĭolby defines Atmos: “ treating sounds as audio objects, Dolby Atmos lets game creators preserve the three-dimensional audio scene and precisely move and position sounds in that scene-we call it moving audio.” Xbox announced that a Blu-ray Bitstream pass-through, which includes Dolby Atmos support on Xbox One and Xbox One S, would be rolling out to Xbox Preview members. It’s multi-dimensional, precise digital audio. You’ll feel as if you were plucked from reality and dropped into any game, from Overwatch to CS:GO. You’ll get a much better sense of the combat scene above and behind you, and whether other players are friends or foes. You’ll know which way to turn when your enemy is behind you, or above you, due to the way the sounds are processed spatially. As gamers, we know this level of immersive audio gives you better cues in-game. Designers can spatially place audio objects with precision accuracy with a process called adaptive rendering, something impossible with surround sound mixes. 3D audio gives gamers a huge competitive edge, because it digitally creates sounds placed vertically as well as horizontally, creating a 360-degree audioscape.
Broadly speaking, surround sound places an audio ring with 5 to 7 speakers in a flat, disc-shaped field. So what is 3D audio? Doesn’t surround sound give you 3D audio? Technically, no. From communication with your teammates to delivering developer-designed audio cues, owning a great pair of headphones completes the gaming experience. Whether you’re new to gaming or you’re an experienced pro, headsets are a key element for a fully immersive gaming experience. With the arrival of Dolby Atmos and Windows Sonic, we wanted to explain how each iteration of the respective 3D spatial audio solutions work in general and how it works with our headsets.
Immersive gaming is why the new wave of 3D gaming audio technology has us stoked for what’s next. At ASTRO Gaming, we believe the experience of gaming is vastly improved by great audio: it’s why we created the MixAmp Pro TR.
