I have so many burning questions about the new 3D sound options in Windows 10 now that I've downloaded the new update, but seem to have no one who can answer them until next week when the Creators Update gets pushed to everybody.
1) What are the advantages of selecting "Dolby Atmos for Headphones" over "Windows Sonic for Headphones" in the audio control panel? Does Windows Sonic also process Atmos with a HRTF so I can avoid switching back and forth?
2) Do I configure my Creative X7 in the audio control panel for Stereo or the highest possible Surround output? With Atmos or Sonic enabled, is it irrelevant? Will Windows pull multi channel data from movies and games no matter what?
3) Would using Atmos for Headphones within the menu in Overwatch or Valve's HRTF option in CS:GO conflict or overlap with Microsoft's 3D implementations, or will it appear to be a Stereo signal and not add crossfade or other effects? I just want to set my audio and forget it, and even before these new options, right now I have to switch between Stereo/HRTF when I play Counter Strike and 5.1/SBX surround for everything else.
Hopefully I can just enable Stereo and Windows Sonic and call it a day.
