DTS Sound Unbound

Has anyone downloaded DTS Sound Unbound from the Microsoft store?
I managed to enable DTS for headphones (DTS Headphone:X) but there is no setting to enable it for the home theater (DTS:X).

I'm not sure if you understood my problem.
Please check http://i.imgur.com/GSfm2Gn.png in that menù you can enable Sonic for headphones, Dolby Atmos for headphones, Dolby Atmos for home theater and DTS:X for headphones. The setting for "DTS:X for home theater" is MISSING.

Anyway they are useless for HDMI, like I said movies can reproduce Dolby and DTS without buying them, in games you can use PCM. Dolby and DTS are useful only for S/PDIF.

Like I said, it's a chicken before the egg scenario with DTS X...Here's their official statement on outputting to a surround receiver:

"Is HDMI supported for DTS content?
At this time our focus for DTS encoded content is for headphones and multi-channel speakers that are directly connected to the sound card on the PC. HDMI and home theater uses are on our roadmap where we are actively working with Microsoft to bring this feature to our DTS community."

It may have to do with the fact Atmos spatial audio is output at a lower hz than DTS X (44k hz)...In this same statement, they (DTS) state that due to this limitation they are working with MS on a solution.

"and multi-channel speakers that are directly connected to the sound card on the PC"
Is there a setting for that (with the DTS:X software)?

My sound card supports DTS Interactive and Neo:PC for S/PDIF.
My onboard audio supports DTS Interactive for S/PDIF and Neo:PC for jack 3.5mm.
In systems with 3.5mm jack, DTS is only useful for the upmix feature since they can have their own surround sound like HDMI PCM.

Another doubt: if you connect the headphones to your receiver, should you use Dolby Atmos for headphones or home theater? Because I have tested "for headphones" and it doesn't seem to work well since the input signal is stereo.

Are those speaker able to push 44000 hz??? if not then DTS cant use them for DTS X....It's all in the support section of the app..download it again if you need to....DTS via a MS PC is screwed UNTIL they can fix the spatial sound hz rate...

I always knew what you meant mate...YOU just didnt know what you were looking for.

That should not be a problem, my receiver does not support Atmos either but when I enable it it uses Dolby Digital Plus.
Since I'm confused I'll ask again:
1) "and multi-channel speakers that are directly connected to the sound card on the PC"
Right now, is there a setting to enable DTS for jack/SPDIF?
2) If you connect the headphones to your receiver, should you use Dolby Atmos for headphones or Dolby Atmos for home theater?

Such settings do exist on pretty much all Creative sound cards, internal and external types, yes. For other brands I'm not sure since the Realtek HD Codec features can vary quite a bit from motherboard to motherboard

Well again, Dolby/DTS through hdmi or headphones is just virtual surround. Not the same as using 6 or 8 channel via physical speakers.

This seems like a new question now...

Dolby Atmos for Phonos AND DTS:X for phonos will both only work if you plug a 3.5mm stereo phono jack into your sound card...OR in certain circumstances a USB dongle.

Neither will actually push their signals via toslink/spidif. The max signal with either will be DD or DTS from that method.

Also, as you realized if you select atmos of phonos and push that signal to your NON atmos/dtsx reciever it's matrixing it into a NON spatial DD/+ signal but you arent getting ANY of the spatial meta data passed to you.

Hope this helps your situation and sorry if we went around in circles a bit.

Not exactly the answer I wanted but I assume:
1) No.
2) Home Theater.

Jesus Christ, dude...

The answer is NO AND NO

If you don't have a pc sound card capable of decoding either format, NO..don't select it

If you don't have a receiver capable of decoding either format NO dont select it.

You can't magically trick windows into pushing either format to headphones or a receiver unless you have capable hardware.

end of story.
