That's because this is a binaural recording. Basically two earshaped mics on an average sized mannequin's head. It's made to mimick human hearing, you don't need vss for that as it will obviously throw it off. Vss tries to reproduce binaural audio with algorithms btw. It takes multi channel...

Games obviously don't provide any "HD" audio. Movies, well, if you have what it takes to play movies with dolby atmos true HD you're cetrainly not watching them on your computer monitor with a pair of cans through the GSX and a virtualizer (besides, you'll gain nothing if you manage to get your...

Aside from "hd" audio gimmicky services, nothing today goes higher than 16b@48khz, especially games. You're not going to get better audio quality by upsampling to 192khz anyways in the first place.

It does that when you're trying to set the output to 7.1 but your settings are higher than 16b@44.1

I can't even get past 50% without my ears bleeding (on a gsp 600 + gsx 1000 that is), no distortion there. But you sure as hell have to be deaf or nearly there if you're using them at full blast.

There is no "atmos information" to decode, since there are no games that supply it in the first place (but movies do), no, not even Overwatch. What dolby atmos for headphones is supposed to do is to take whatever surround information is available to it and turn it into HRTF stereo, which it...

It was supposed to but it did not work as intended, it was seen as 2.0 by games and therefore they defaulted to stereo, which is not the case now (confirmed with titanfall 2 and nier automata which show your audio setup and never worked with DA and WS before). It worked with dolby atmos...

You might need to have the latest windows 10 version for that.

Yup, tested it in destiny 2 and got actual virtual surround instead of echoey stereo. Also there is no more checkbox in the settings to "force" surround (which did not work in the first place). Windows sonic seems to work now too, but it gives a narrower soundstage and generates a lot more...

BFV has an inbuilt VSS processing that sounds nice imho.

Are you certain you're using the correct option in the sound panel? Make sure you're NOT using the "headset earphone".

Riiiiight.

Of course people are buying the gsx for the surround and not for its musical qualities. Equalizer apo looks nice on paper but it's a lagfest when it comes to latency.

The sidetone generates less noise and maybe it's me but i think the rear channels are a tad clearer.

Ooooh shiny, Updated without issues, there's no more noise when sidetone is activated.
