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.

    • Microsoft is officially making the Xbox app on PC a universal launcher

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft is officially making the Xbox app on PC a universal launcher by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe It was earlier this year that an image mockup from Microsoft showed the Xbox app on PC with an interesting change: including support for other PC stores on the app, teasing that it may be becoming a universal launcher like GOG Galaxy or Playnite. Considering the company's new handheld initiative that will house a brand-new gaming-focused version of Windows, it was clear that this feature was on the way. And now, Xbox Insiders have access. Announced today as the 'aggregated gaming library' feature, it's poised to land this holiday on the ROG Xbox Ally and ROG Xbox Ally X to easily manage all their installed games from a single place. But before that, Xbox Insiders on PC can have a crack at it to see how it functions and provide feedback to Microsoft. In its current state, Microsoft says that the feature now supports Xbox, Game Pass, Battle.net, and "other leading PC storefronts," all handled via the Xbox PC app. The company did not detail what these other storefronts are, but Steam, Epic Games Store, Ubisoft Connect, and EA Play apps seem likely candidates. "Whether you’re on a Windows PC or a handheld device, your Xbox library, hundreds of Game Pass titles, and all your installed games from leading PC storefronts will now be at your fingertips," said the company. When a game from a supported store is installed on a PC, Insiders should now see it appear on the Xbox app in the My Library and Most Recent sections for easy access. "And this is just the beginning," adds Microsoft. "We’ll continue rolling out support for additional PC storefronts over time." Insiders can also disable this functionality and hide games from specific stores if needed from the Settings > Library & Extensions menu. Anyone interested in testing out the new 'aggregated gaming library' update can use the Xbox Insider app on PC to enroll in the ongoing Insider Previews.

    • Billionaire slams 'Tesla Cultists' for praising Robotaxi, says it's 5+ years behind Waymo

      By Astra.Xtreme · Posted

      This guy is just salty that Waymo is about to get buried by a company with cars that cost significantly less, charge significantly lower fares, and will soon dramatically outnumber their fleet. Waymo made the mistake of not reducing their vehicle cost quick enough and not overcoming their route limitations. Unless they start allowing their cars to use the freeways and have significantly wider geofencing, they're going to soon join the list of discontinued Google products. If Tesla wasn't the one to make them irrelevant, somebody else soon was. There's a long list of companies designing robotaxis right now.

      LOL. Hard to believe people still fall for this. If you are having some sort of issue, I would work on fixing that instead turning off these settings.
