Which audio preset for Dolby Atmos on headset?

[vfib]

Hello together, should I use home cinema or headphone preset for dolby atmos use? I'm too dumb to understand

It's not a preset. Those are 2 completely different pieces of softwarew/technology.

Atmos for Home Theaters is real atmos, as in - many speakers, with individual sound coming from them.

Atmos for headphones is a virtualization system to give you the feeling of 3D sound when using headphones.

If you are talking about Dolby access I use gaming 90 percent of the time. The other ones are equalizers I made for certain types of music.

No, they mean in Cyberpunk itself. Under the sound option in the cyberpunk setting menus What setting should they use. Ie headphones, TV speakers, small speakers, bass up, bass down, Home theatre.

I was never sure myself. I mean, who the hell has that as the settings options? Why not the old 2.1, 2.1+woofer, 5.1 etc etc with a clear option to turn on surround if your sounddevice supports it.

It's really hard to know which to use. :/

This! I've read that you generally need to use the right option for dolby atmos for headphones to work bcs its "encoded" specially. But what is the right ingame option for cyberpunk?

I just put headphones option and it seems fine with Dolby access.

I take it that kind of hardware just doesn't exist for headphones to get 'true' Dolby Atmos to mimic that of a proper home theater.

OP if you're using 3D virtualization software you want your source material to be as many channels as possible, Home Theater, 5.1, 7.1 etc.

THX, Dolby Atmos Headphones, DTS:X, Windows Sonic all work by taking multi channel audio and downmixing to stereo that is sent to your headphones to simulate 3D space over only two channels.

If you set your game to Headphones then it's only outputting 2 channels to your 3D virtualization software which either won't do anything or make it worse sounding.

Wasted a lot of time on the matter. But... the header of the setting states it's the DYNAMIC RANGE setting. Meaning: has nothing to do with channels OR spatial audio, just the range of volume allowed under different frquencies. As a rule, 'headphone' or ' studio' setting in games are the ones with highest range (=most detailed sound). Cyberpunk has this fancy '3d headphone', so should be the highest, roughly equivalent to 'studio' on other games. Subjectively it feels like that too, and i'm using an HyperX Orbit S (same hardware as audeze mobius) which is the highest quality gaming headset in existence in the market, to my knowledge.
