Thanks for the replies. I do some audio production and it’s come up a couple of times but I have been flat out saying I’m not going to support it. Kind of good to hear I maybe able to in the future.
Yeah my first conclusion seems correct, I have no use for it. For whatever reason a band I’m in talks with wanted it but it seems they know about as much as I do about it.
That would have been pure marketing bollocks then.
Needs a full set of surround speakers, and speakers in your ceiling to anywhere near the full effect, which can be subtle at the best of times.
Basically instead of just 7.1 channels, you get extra channels with positional data in them, and then the system works out which speakers to play them through.
It is a Dolby audio format for surround sound with heigh channels mainly for movies but also can be used in gaming.
May I ask if this marketing or is it actually good? Because I supposedly had this on an old phone.
I would not tell anyone to go out and buy it as the set up requires too much work equipment matching to work properly.
When it works it is deff nice to have esp for console gaming and proper blue rays.
Windows provided decent support so I deff enjoyed for games that also support it.
Small price to be Libre IMHO I would not go back to windows for it.
It will come to Linux if migration keeps us this rate. Gamers switching is best best for mainstream adoption and it is now possible.
Side note, it is not going to do shit on the phone of teevee speakers.
You really need proper surround system that is atmos enabled, precisely old school AV route.
However, 1k soundbar can do a decent job.

No problem.
If you need directional sound it is amazing, any other use case is mehh
