Hello everybody, I am new here, So i wanna say that i was playing the spatial audio settings in windows 11 and on the other day i was just using the built-in windows sonic thing and i also tried Dolby Access little bit. Honestly, I did not expect that it would make that much difference but it kinda did.
I Tried it while gaming on Hellblade and Warzone, and yeah, it felt a bit more immersive especially with footsteps and stuff. Not using any crazy audit gear, just a predator galea 300 headset.
Is anyone else messing with this? I am curious if it’s really worth it with higher end headphones or if it’s just mostly software doing the trick.

Be careful of the audio rabbit hole. You can end up spending $$$ on sound you don’t like

First thing is do you find out how you like your audio.

Do you like accurate bass or excessive bass, same with mids, and high frequencies.

I myself like more “accurate”, nothing exaggerated which some consider boring.
They are sold out at thee moment but I’m like the MASSDROP X SENNHEISER PC37X GAMING HEADSET and are reasonably priced (when in stock).

There is also DTS in the windows App Store that offers a 3d headphone.

    • WIFI7 Router Recommendation

      By gowtham07 · Posted

      Hey! What a difference it makes to upgrade from an old WiFi 5 router to a new one. The Asus BE88U and BE92U are both very top picks. Asus gives you more control and better firmware support than most. Netgear’s new stuff is decent, but locked down. If you need more than 4 wired ports, I’d suggest a separate 2.5G or 10G switch. It makes life easier. Synology’s UI is clean too, but they don’t have a WiFi 7 router yet. If the price isn’t a big deal, go with Asus and pair it with a switch. Let us know what you think!  
    • Microsoft explains how Xbox Ally runs a lightweight bloat-free Windows 11

      Honestly, I think the long-term play here is for Microsoft to ditch the idea of a traditional console entirely and just turn Xbox into a full-on operating system. They (or anyone!) could release hardware like a Mac Mini or a typical console with built-in GPU and RAM, but instead of being locked into a console ecosystem, they run the Xbox OS. It makes total sense because it pushes Game Pass, Windows, and all their other software. The handheld angle is really interesting too. You’d basically have a portable PC. Hook up a keyboard and mouse, and suddenly you can edit videos or get some real work done while on the go. Something like a prebuilt Xbox PC would be more than just a gaming box. It could be a decent little PC that people might actually upgrade with each generation. And since it’s running a PC-based OS, you’d get all the usual perks like mod support, cheaper games across different stores, and no extra charges just to plug in a webcam or other standard accessories. Plus, if they let you install the OS on your own rig, then you’ve got full upgradability too. Best bit also being Microsoft wont even need to build them anyone can and when they do Microsoft just wins. The competition is kind of stuffed. Those maybe relying on SteamOS might be ok but will still have software support issues and no Game Pass. Sony and Nintendo can’t really offer the same kind of flexibility at all not sure how they will live on. They’d struggle to match something that works as a desktop OS, console, handheld, streaming box, and media hub, all with your game library ready to go, never needing to rebuy games. Console exclusives are the only way they can live I think, but if they ever get blocked by antitrust rulings down the line, it’s game over. I'm waiting to see the bloat that's still left on these and if they let you install on a regular old PC. Fingers crossed this could be the lightweight OS we have been asking for.

      I take my Apple Watch off at night and put it on the charger when I go to bed. Then I wake up the next morning I put it back on.

      I don’t get what an ai device like a pendant does for me. As a man, I’m not wearing pendant. Then there is battery life. Battery life on my Apple Watch is horribly embarrassing. Having to charge every 36 hours is horribly inconvenient. Fitbits that hold a charge for 5-7 days are much better, so the pendant would need that level of charge. Voice is actually jarring for me. I find it inconvenient when people talk into their phones and I overhear their request. Speaker phones are fine in a closed office but not when others are around. If the device is screen less, it must either respond vocally or respond via the screen on my phone. if this another health device, does the marketplace need another?
